Rear board reads: "In this series of readers the fancy of the fountain or perputual youth is more nearly realized than in any other feature of American life. Many series of readers have appeared since the first publication of McGuffey's but McGuffey's still more than hold their own in the affection and patronage of the public. The grading of McGuffeys' Readers has never been surpassed, nor has the interesting character of the matter. In singleness of purpose, in the adaption of means to ends, in catching and holding the attention of children, in filling the bill of 'reading made easy,' McGuffey's Readers stand unrivaled and alone."
