>The following book from 1901 is intended for a 2nd grader (at least it starts at 2nd grade). This is typical of the books of the period. They have very little in way of explanation because that was the teacher?s job. I would expect a book to have a little more explanation (and pictures) than this, but this book expects the level of fluency I expect.

I believe Pam posted links to similar books a year or two ago. As far as "pictures" go - obviously these books lead children to think about the few pictures given, so they are more in the head (where one really wants to plant them) and less on the page. Secondly, the better examples of these old books is in the careful and methodical sequencing of the problems.
But, its hard to make money on things in the public domain.
