Item 1611Bound American Tract Society Tracts.
American Tract Society. Thick small 12mo. 7-1/16" x 4-9/16" x 2-5/8" thick. Original leather bound boards and leather spine with matching corner tips. Leather seriously worn and rubbed away in several places. Text block affected by waterstains, foxing and toning. Some underlining. Binding is still tight. Overall condition is poor but this book is still readable and worth perusing. Name in ink on free front endpaper.
Beginning with No. 65 and ending with No. 503 this book includes 105 tracts. Just after the back endpaper is inserted a neatly hand written index of the titles each one. I was unable to find any dates but the printing style and handwritten index gives me the feeling that it was probably published in the second quarter of the 19th century. Item #1611

Leafing through this book set me to wondering what the workday of a typesetter using this tiny 6 pt. type was like. He must have gone home exhausted. Or maybe he got involved in the story as he set his composing stick. And then how much squinting did the reader have to do? How could you read it by candlelight or kerosene lamplight? Whew! Item #441
