Sanders' Union Fourth Reader
Aug. 13th, 2025 01:07 pmmarycatelli posting in book_loveSanders' Union Fourth Reader by Charles Walton Sanders
Despite the titles, this is more recent than his New Fourth Reader. It repeats three or four readings from the earlier works, not all of them from the fourth reader.
Interesting nowadays chiefly for the views of edifying works and science of the time.

The School Reader. Third Book
Aug. 11th, 2025 07:33 pmmarycatelli posting in book_loveThe School Reader. Third Book: Containing Progressive Lessons in Reading, Exercises in Articulation and Inflection, Definitions, by Charles Walton Sanders
The third book is still focused on reading. Very few of the pieces come with bylines. Still, it's taking on the aspect of the later readers, with the focus on good readings, edifying and instruction.
May be chiefly of interest in view of what they selected in the era.

Sanders' young ladies' reader
Aug. 9th, 2025 02:21 pmmarycatelli posting in book_loveSanders' young ladies' reader : embracing a comprehensive course of instruction in the principles of rhetorical reading : with a choice collection of exercises in reading, both in prose and poetry, for the use of the higher female seminaries, as also, the higher classes in female schools generally by Charles W. Sanders
A selection of prose and poetry intended for elocution classes. Interesting, nowadays, chiefly for the selections choosing. With an eye to variety, the preface assures us, because they are intended for the young.
This one is, unlike the fourth and fifth readers, aimed specifically at girls. Which means a couple on the education of women and the necessity of its being for their whole lives, and not the flurry of society to win their husbands, and more female characters in the stories. It has a couple of selections that overlap with those readers.
