Set of bible extracts issued by the American Tract Society, a nonprofit evangelical organization founded in 1825 in New York City for the purpose of publishing and disseminating Christian literature. Over the years American Tract Society has produced many theological books and tracts.
The first “Dew Drops” was issued about 1831 as a copy ftom the one printed by The Religious Tract Society in London. The last one, as far as I know, dates from 1899.
