About 1820, many curious Tracts were issued by various Societies with
the illustrations which follow. Some of these Tracts relating to Social
and Religious questions of that day had been edited by Hannah More and
her sister--at "Barley Wood," near Bath--also by Rowland Hill, the
eccentric divine of old Surrey Chapel, and others; these are now quite
ephemeral literary productions, notably some on the "Sunday Question."
Several of the following cuts were used contemporary with Timothy
Spagg's (Charles Dickens's) Sunday Under Three Heads. One of these,
an 8vo pamphlet, has on the title, a large woodcut by Thomas Bewick,
commencing;--_Here we have Bewick, I declare_, etc. Many of the original
cuts to the Bristol series of Tracts issued from 1805 to 1820 are in
this volume.
