When Ricardo died, James Mill told M'Culloch that they were 'the two and only genuine disciples' of their common friend. Mill wrote what he intended for a Schoolbook of Political Economy. Brief, pithy, and vigorous, it purports to give the essential principles in their logical order; but, as his son remarks, had only a passing importance.
"There is no such thing," says Cicero, "as Roman historical composition"; and, so far as we can judge, this is no more than the simple truth. The man of research turns away from writing history, the writer of history turns away from research; historical literature oscillates between the schoolbook and the romance.
The readers were originally published in Boston and some copies bear the imprint of Otis, Broaders & Co. They were first copyrighted in 1839 and were frequently revised. They finally became the property of the Louisville publisher. Mr. Smith and Mr. Morton kept up a most vigorous schoolbook war, especially in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky in the years from 1845 to 1860.
"I read a story in an old schoolbook Uncle Moses had used when he didn't weigh as much as I do now, which was called 'The Half is Better than the Whole; and it proved the proposition with which it started out. That is just what is the matter now." "But you have been seeing new things all the time, and learning something," added Louis.
At this time he was nearly seven years old yes, sir, actually nearly seven. We have the word of the schoolbook for it. We should have had a second chapter on this boy. Probably at nine he was being considered for president of Yale no, Harvard. He would know too much to be president of Yale.
W.B. Thalheimer in charge of the business and resumed control of the duplicate plates of the McGuffey Readers. From the location of Cincinnati on the Ohio river, then affording the cheapest means of distributing goods to all parts of the South, Mr. Smith had obtained, before 1860, a very considerable part of the schoolbook trade in the Southern states of the Mississippi Valley.
It was not exactly a schoolbook that was wanted, but something that would carry the purposes of the schoolroom even into the leisure hours of adult pupils. Nothing was ever better suited for such a purpose than the Iliad and the Odyssey, as done by Mr. Collins. The Virgil, also done by him, is very good; and so is the Aristophanes by the same hand.
"There is no such thing," says Cicero, "as Roman historical composition"; and, so far as we can judge, this is no more than the simple truth.

"I suppose every family has its secret enemies and this was one of ours. I must ask to be excused!" With that, he went out crossly, stopping in the hall a moment before passing beyond hearing. And, after lunch, Penrod sought in vain for his accordion; he even searched the library where his father sat reading, though, upon inquiry, Penrod explained that he was looking for a misplaced schoolbook.
The book we had to study was evidently a schoolbook, one in which children learned to read, and we judged from this, and from their frequent consultation as to methods, that they had had no previous experience in the art of teaching foreigners their language, or of learning any other. On the other hand, what they lacked in experience, they made up for in genius.
