QUESTION: Book Mentioned on David Barton's Heritage Series

I'm trying to find a school textbook about government mentioned on the American History Series show Jan 27, 2013 by Davide Barton.
I believe he said it was the first textbook published for the State of Connecticut around the 1850s.
He also said all of the thirteen states used it, and many states used it up until around the 1960s.
I can't remember the title, but it was a tiny book with just four items:
1. The Declaration of Independence
2. The Constitution of the United States
3. George Washington's Farewell Address
4. [I can't remember]
It ended with an elementary test covering all these subjects and David Barton said these items today are only covered to that detail in a college course for Law School.
Can anyone remember the title of that book or have a link to a place I can purchase that book?
TOPICS: Books/Literature; History; Reference
KEYWORDS: barton; davidbarton; education; government; textbook; textbookl
Thanks for your help.

I did, but I couldn't find it.
I guess I'm going to have to watch it again, and hope I can catch the same show.

I looked up the
McGuffey Readers and did NOT see it.
I believe Barton said it was about 8th grade level and they were taught it each of the four years of high school
and had to pass a test on it to the 80% score or above.
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll keep looking.
