Description
Chambers Miscellany of Useful & Entertaining Tracts
1st Edition – Vols 13 & 14, Edinburgh 1846
£25
.
"Entertaining tracts" combined moral, educational, and leisure reading into cheap, bite-sized publications,
.
In the 19th century, a tract was a short, cheap booklet. Before the Chambers brothers, tracts were almost exclusively religious or political pamphlets designed to convert or reform people.
They were notoriously dry, grim, and preachy.
.
William and Robert Chambers wanted to hijack this popular, cheap format but fill it with "entertaining" content.
.
Our favorites are the ‘Shoemaker’s anecdotes'!.
.
