I've been digging through storage boxes again and found several volumes of Cassell's Popular Educator. I can't find a publication date but from what I can tell its late 19th century. The engraved illustrations are beautiful; the chapters on 'ethnology' exceptionally racist. My favourite pages are those flagged by my grandmother: Lessons in Penmanship and Lessons in Music.
