The Board of Publication’s aims were not only to counteract the tremendous spread and influence of the American Sunday School Union publications flooding the American market in the post-Civil War era but also to ensure doctrinal purity for Presbyterian Sunday Schools and church members. This was a pivotal point for the Presbyterian Church as at the same time this catalogue was published 29 representatives of denominational publishing houses and societies met to develop the National Sunday School Convention which would result in a uniform curriculum while the Presbyterian Church was issuing the Westminster Teacher. This catalogue lists available titles on Africa Huguenots Alphabet Cards Berry-pickers of Wisconsin Chinaman in California Quakers and Presbyterians Zulu-land and more.
