Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beavers Their Ways: And Other Sketches In the middle of the last century, and when people were not so plentiful in America as they now are, book publishers and authors were comparatively few and easily named by intelligent and observant persons. More especially was this the case with school book publishers and authors. In those days every little girl and boy of school age throughout the Middle States was familiar with Comly´s Spelling Book, which opened its pages with big A B C etc., of the English alphabet and the simplest form of words but became more complex in both spelling and reading as page succeeded page to the end of the book. At the age of six years on his first entry into the school room, as the writer well remembers, it was Comly´s spelling book that was placed in his hands for a first lesson. It was in straw or yellow colored board binding and contained a few primitive looking pictures that entranced the childish mind. Among the latter were the cuts of two beavers - both looking alike and placed one in front of the other. From the first sight of them they were an object of intense interest, and the impressions thus early awakened remained throughout a long life.
