A copy of this would be found in the personal library of Henry David Thoreau. Since it was printed in 1833, it could not be a leftover from his own childhood education in Concord, and since it is not college-level reading, it could not be from his period as a college student. It would therefore be –most likely– a text used at the school of the Thoreau brothers in Concord? I hesitate to think that because in looking at the nature of the extracts in this volume, I am appalled, considering a large part of the materials as inappropriate to offer to any who might be misled.
