After 1785, the production of children’s books in the United States increased but remained largely reprints of British books, often those【S1】______by John Newbery. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newhery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children’s literature.

Publishers of children’s books began to【S6】______American writers to write for American children.
When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand,【S7】______to most of them for both its rationalism(理性)and its high moral tone.

Imitative as they were, these early American【S9】______were quite distinguishable from their British counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no【S10】______disappeared, there was much democratic spirits on the worthiness of every level of birth and work.
