It is estimated that at least 122 million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. He was born the son of Alexander and Anna (Holmes) McGuffey near Claysville in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which is 45 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. In 1802 the McGuffey family moved further out into the frontier at Tuscarawas County, Ohio. He attended country school, and after receiving special instruction at Youngstown, he attended Greersburg Academy in Darlington, Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from Pennsylvania's Washington College, where he became an instructor. He was close friends with Washington College's President Andrew Wylie and lived in Wylie's house for a time; they often would walk the 3 miles to Washington College together. McGuffey's house in OxfordMcGuffey left Washington College in 1826 to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A year later in 1827, he was married to Harriet Spinning of Dayton, Ohio, with whom he had five children. In 1829, he was ordained at Bethel Chapel as a minister in the Presbyterian Church. It was in Oxford that he created the most important contribution of his life: The McGuffey Readers. His books sold over 122 million copies. He was very fond of teaching and children as he geared the books toward a younger audience. In 1836, he left Miami to become president of Cincinnati College, where he also served as a distinguished teacher and lecturer. He left Cincinnati in 1839 to become the 4th president of Ohio University, which he left in 1843 to become president of Woodward College (really a secondary school) in Cincinnati. In 1845, McGuffey moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where he became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. A year after his first wife Harriet died in 1850, he married Miss Laura Howard, daughter of Dean Howard of the University of Virginia, in 1851. McGuffey is buried in the university burial ground, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The School of Education at Miami University is housed in McGuffey Hall which is named for him and his home in Oxford is a National Historic Landmark offering tours on weekdays. 内容简介《美国语文读本5(美国原版经典语文课本)》:这套读本的英文原版共分七级,包括启蒙读本和第1-6级。考虑到启蒙读本与第一级篇幅都较少,难易程度也很接近,于是将之合并为第1册,其余2-6级与英文原版相同。这样国内出版的这套读本共包括6册。 《美国语文读本5(美国原版经典语文课本)》主要介绍了狄更斯、华盛顿?欧文、爱默生等名家的诗歌和散文,每篇文章前还增加了作者简介与相关背景知识,内容丰富而有一定深度。 This series of schoolbooks teaching reading and moral precepts, originally prepared by William Holmes who was a professor at Miami University McGuffey, had a profound influence on public education in the United States. The eclectic readers, meaning that the selections were chosen from a number of sources, were considered remarkably literary works and probably exerted a greater influence upon literary tastes in the United States more than any other book, excluding the Bible. It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. McGuffey's Readers are still in use today in some school systems, and by parents for home schooling purposes. The fifth reader was designed for elocutionary exercises to increase articulation, inflection, pitch, accent, rate, emphasis and gesture. It contained poetry and prose by Sigourney, Montgomery, Addison, Irving, Young and Byron. 目录LESSON 1 THE GOOD READER LESSON 2 THE BLUEBELL LESSON 3 THE GENTLE HAND LESSON 4 THE GRANDFATHER LESSON 5 A BOY ON A FARM LESSON 6 THE SINGING LESSON LESSON 7 DO NOT MEDDLE LESSON 8 WORK LESSON 9 THE MANIAC LESSON 10 ROBIN REDBREAST LESSON 11 THE FISH I DIDN’T CATCH LESSON 12 IT SNOWS LESSON 13 RESPECT FOR THE SABBATH REWARDED LESSON 14 THE SANDS O’ DEE LESSON 15 SELECT PARAGRAPHS LESSON 16 THE CORN SONG LESSON 17 THE VENOMOUS WORM LESSON 18 THE FESTAL BOARD LESSON 19 HOW TO TELL BAD NEWS LESSON 20 THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM LESSON 21 “I PITY THEM” LESSON 22 AN ELEGY ON MADAM BLAIZE LESSON 23 KING CHARLES II AND WILLIAM PENN LESSON 24 WHAT I LIVE FOR LESSON 25 THE RIGHTEOUS NEVER FORSAKEN LESSON 26 ABOU BEN ADHEM LESSON 27 LUCY FORESTER LESSON 28 THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS LESSON 29 THE TOWN PUMP LESSON 30 GOOD NIGHT LESSON 31 AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL LESSON 32 MY MOTHER’S HANDS LESSON 33 THE DISCONTENTED PENDULUM LESSON 34 THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS LESSON 35 THE THUNDERSTORM LESSON 36 APRIL DAY LESSON 37 THE TEA ROSE LESSON 38 THE CATARACT OF LODORE LESSON 39 THE BOBOLINK LESSON 40 ROBERT OF LINCOLN LESSON 41 REBELLION IN MASSACHUSETTS STATE PRISON LESSON 42 FAITHLESS NELLY GRAY LESSON 43 THE GENEROUS RUSSIAN PEASANT LESSON 44 FORTY YEARS AGO LESSON 45 MRS.
