1879: McGuffey’s Eclectic Spelling Book

Here’s another Eclectic Series book that Farny had a hand in designing, the McGuffey Eclectic Spelling Book. I can’t find a good enough cover pic to locate his Symbol signature, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did the cover design. Only four of the pictures in the book are his work.
