Tracts and Handbills of the Religious Tract Society, March 1st, 1843 62517 [Author: Religious Tract Society] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/5/1/62517 ] [Files: 62517-0.txt; 62517-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the Religious Tract Society was founded in England in 1799, and quickly produced a core set of tracts, which they reprinted as the decades rolled on, together with new additions. By 1843, they had a very substantial collection as this catalog shows. The tracts often turn up at antiquarian bookfairs in England and over the years I've purchased quite a few: this is more for me to see what I've got, and what's remaining! All the best, David Windy England

The true history of the Kentish Lawyer, by Anonymous 62515 [Subtitle: with an account of the extraordinary marriage of his son] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/5/1/62515 ] [Files: 62515-0.txt; 62515-h.htm] For those wishing to know: another tract from the Religious Tract Society, possibly early 1800's, where a "godless" lawyer tries to corrupt his son who is in "danger of becoming a puritan". I think it must be based on real events, but it's so poorly told it's sounds more like a very bad novel plot. All the best, David, Windy England with blue skies
