In relation to the original: "In some bibliographies and databases this work is attributed to Henry H. Porter who was publisher of the journals stated in the imprint. This attribution may be based on the absence of Faust's name on the title-page or the fact the Porter's Catechism is but loosely based on the original. Porter's Catechism was extensively edited and/or rewritten by the Philadelphia physician D. Francis Condie who was closely associated with Porter and John Bell in editing the Journal of health. Thomas Horrocks points out that Condie reoriented Faust's Catechism to a predominantly middle-class American readership: 'Defining middle class life as beneficial to one's health is just one example of how Condie refashioned Faust's message. to bring it more in line with the emerging health reform movement of the period.'. In keeping with the theme of personal responsibility inherent to the closely related evangelical and health reform movements Condie placed less emphasis on public health than Faust. Porter frequently reissued the Catechism in its two-year publishing history. In 1831 this first edition of the Catechism was published.
