威廉·H·麦加菲，美国著名教育家。1800年出生于宾夕法尼亚州，1826年于华盛顿大学杰斐逊学院。在数十年教育生涯中，他曾担任过迈阿密大学语言学教授，俄亥俄大学校长。自1845年开始任弗吉尼亚大学道德哲学教授。他还帮组建了俄亥俄州公立学校体系。 早在1纪初期，麦加菲就意识到，应该给那些孤独的垦荒者和欧洲移民的后代提供普遍的教育，于是他利用自己作为演讲家与教育工作者的天赋，开始为孩子们编写系列教材。这套教材共7册，从学龄前至第6年级。他前后花费了20多年的时间才完成全套教材的编写。这套教材面世后就被美国很多学校选为课本。在75年间高达1.22亿，直到今天仍以各种版本流行于西方，被美国《出版周刊》评为“人类出版第三大书”，对美国青年的心灵塑造与道德培养产生了的影响。

呈现于读者面前的这套《美国语文读本》，亦名《麦加菲读本》，其编者威廉·H·麦加菲曾先后任美国迈阿密大学语言学教授和俄亥俄大学校长。 《美国语文读本》从1纪中期至20世纪中叶，一直被广泛用作美国学校的语文教材，据称有10000多所美国学校拿它当作教材。美国著名汽车制造商亨利·福特称赞这套书是他儿童时代兴趣的读物，后来他自费大量印刷这套书，分发给很多学校。到了21世纪，西方一些私立学校(PrivateSchool)和家庭学校(Homeschool(仍用它作为教材，足见这套书的价值与影响力。 这套读本的英文原版共分七级，包括启蒙读本和-6级。本书为《美国语文读本》第6册。书中均是比较正式的课文，每一课包括词汇和课文，对一些生词有英文解释，让学生学会通过简单英文理解生词，养成用英语理解和思维的习惯。课文前还增加了作者简介与相关背景知识，内容丰富而有一定深度。从所选课文的英文难易程度来看，该册可供高中及以上程度学习者阅读。从文体方面来看，除了常见的记叙、散文体以外，本书对诗歌、戏剧、说等文体也很重视，书中选取了不少名家的名作名篇。这对国内孩子们真正感受英语这一西方语言的魄力是大有帮的。
