Description :
Antique 1871 Osgood’s American Second Reader – Early Schoolbook A scarce and historically important 1871 edition of Osgood’s American Second Reader, published by A.H. English & Co. This volume represents one of the foundational texts in 19th-century American education, designed to introduce children to reading and recitation with patriotic, moral, and literary selections. Title: Osgood’s American Second Reader Publisher: A.H. English & Co., Philadelphia Copyright: 1871, by A.H. English & Co. Printer/Bindery: Lane S. Hart, Harrisburg, PA Binding: Original cloth-backed boards with decorative cover (heavily worn but intact) Condition: Acceptable for age – covers show significant wear, rubbing, and fading; spine reinforced but binding remains complete; pages exhibit toning and scattered foxing; early schoolhouse wear consistent with a working textbook. Historical Note: Measurements: This example is a true survivor of 19th-century American schoolrooms—a collectible artifact for those interested in early education, Americana, or historic schoolbooks.
This reader was part of the Osgood’s series, widely adopted across U.S. schools in the mid-to-late 19th century. Educational readers from this era are prized for their reflection of early American pedagogy, moral lessons, and national identity during the Reconstruction period.
