Item description from seller

Facsimile reprint of the 1885 edition, published in 1930 and promoted by Henry Ford.17 cm; 84 pages. Green printed boards as issued. According to the Henry Ford Archive: McGuffey Readers had a deep and lasting influence on Henry Ford. They were among the earliest objects reflecting the American experience that Henry Ford collected, beginning in the 1910s. Ford bought every copy that he could find—amassing, by the 1930s, a collection of 468 copies of 145 different editions. A strong believer in McGuffey’s educational principles, Ford perpetuated these beliefs by founding the Edison Institute Schools. He even had the readers reprinted so that the children in the schools could use them.
