Bensley for J. Butterworth. The only other holding for many of these titles appears to be the National Library of Scotland, with some of these small monographs being bound in a larger volume simply titled "tracts" (presumably of the Religious Tract Society). Many of these titles unreferenced in William Jones' Jubilee Memorial of the Religious Tract Society, meaning that these titles were either uncatalogued, were issued separately from the Society, or were issued by a similar religious society. Others held only by single institution, such as Cambridge. Some of these titles do not appear to be held in any institutions. Individually these titles are quite scarce, some exceedingly so. Extremely desirable collection of tracts bound together, as such..
