1879028177Philadelphia: American Sunday School Union 1879. 12mo. 7 pages. The only recorded copy in OCLC for this items is at the American Antiquarian Society. If a Sunday School would send $20.80 it would receive 50 items in the catalogue as it states: "contains over 12000 printed pages.with 212 full page large fine engravings." The National Educational Journal in 1879 listed this along with ads which were predominately for religious publications. What this indicates is that basic evangelical religious ideas were interwoven with the primary school educators of the day. The tracts they offered neglected any ideas that black people existed and also often made negative comments about Roman Catholicism. While the modern day reader sees them only as simplistic moral religious tales it is important to know that this was the everyday staple for the vast majority of Americans on the farm or small town.String bound toning to edges crease through center.
