Great, but...

If you are looking for the original then this is it. The language is original to the time period, for example, "s"'s are printed as what we now use as "f"'s. Makes for struggled reading until you adapt to it. If you are wanting to use this for home education you may want the David Barton version which states to be updated language. I have not seen it but think that is the one I should have gotten.
A great peak into history...

i love this little book. every household should own one. this is the single most used text book when America was first born. a shame it's probably "expelled" from public schools today
Better Than Expected

This is a great little pocket book with attractive hard cover and original text. Would make a nice gift. It is something to be treasured. Reading it gives you great insight into what schoolchildren were taught way back when our country was founded. I think it would be great for Christian homeschoolers. It's a little hard to read because the text has "f" for "s" such as "fpeak" instead of "speak". Overall a great buy and a great find!
