Plum-coloured publisher's cloth, gilt lettering stamped on front cover & spine (minor sunning to spine, edgewear, very slight bumping to corners), still VG copy. First edition of this scarce, and well annotated catalogue for the Presbyterian Board of Publication, detailing 1106 bound volumes written by the Presbyterian Church's professors and scholars, together with collections of psalms, hymns, music books, children's picture books, catechisms, spelling books, readers, cards and engravings. The Board of Publication's aims were not only to counteract the tremendous spread and influence of the American Sunday School Union publications flooding the American market in the post-Civil War era, but also to ensure doctrinal purity for Presbyterian Sunday Schools and church members. This was a pivotal point for the Presbyterian Church, as at the same time this catalogue was published, 29 representatives of denominational publishing houses and societies met to develop the National Sunday School Convention which would result in a uniform curriculum, while the Presbyterian Church was issuing the Westminster Teacher. This catalogue lists available titles on Africa, Huguenots, Alphabet Cards, Berry-pickers of Wisconsin, Chinaman in California, Quakers and Presbyterians, Zulu-land, and more. Although preceded by a very small 38 pp. catalogue in 1854, this was the first major annotated descriptive bibliography and catalogue issued on Presbyterian titles.
