    Introduction: The presence of print -- A good English education. Spellers ; Grammars ; Rhetorics -- A musical, literary, and Christian miscellany. Songs ; Stories ; Doctrines -- Epilogue. A literate South. A pervasive assumption about the culture of the southern United States is that it is firmly rooted in an oral tradition, not a written one.
