Abstract
Indiana changed its third reader significantly, at least with regard to fables, between 1894 and 1899. Our copy of the 1894 Third Reader includes GGE; The Cats and the Monkey; FC; FS; WL; DM; DS; TH; FG; DLS; WSC; and The Boy That Stole Apples. There is, as here, a T of C at the beginning. This edition has only FC with two lovely silhouettes (28-29) and The Mountain and the Squirrel by Ralph Waldo Emerson with a black-and-white reproduction of a painting by Edwin Landseer (48-49). The big surprise here is that this version, inscribed in 1901, is so thoroughly different from that version of five years earlier. Offhand, I can find only one piece that is identical: One, Two, Three (23 here, 16 there). Format and authors have changed thoroughly. The surprise deepens when one reads on the verso of the title-page here of copyrights from 1883, 1889, and 1894. Are those perhaps only for specific particular materials within this volume? Is the word revised meant to refer to this book? If so, it is surprising that I can find no reference to the earlier volume. Wonders never cease!
