Cheap Repository Tracts Listing
Introduction by Elaine Shiner
The Cheap Repository tracts were published by Hannah More, the celebrated eighteenth-century writer and educator, who also wrote almost one-third of them. Her purpose was to provide a cheap alternative, for the literate members of England's lower classes, to both the radical pamphlets appearing in England in the wake of the French Revolution and the lurid tales and bawdy songs provided by chap-book peddlers. More had been very busy in the preceding decades setting up Sunday schools to teach the poor to read, and felt a responsibility to provide them with morally edifying reading materials. Her publishing scheme was subsidized by a large number of concerned subscribers, and this allowed the tracts to be sold very cheaply. The tracts were enormously successful, and over 2 million were distributed in the first year. It is doubtful, however, that this success was due as much to the enthusiasm of the poor, as it was to middle- and upper-class enthusiasts, who bought the tracts in volume to distribute free to their employees and servants. More's Cheap Repository issued 114 tracts between 1795 and 1798 through the printers Samuel Hazard and John Marshall. Although John Marshall continued to issue tracts under the rubric "Cheap Repository" through Dec. 1799, Hannah More and her friends were no longer involved, and these tracts are not considered a part of the Cheap Repository proper. The success of Hannah More's Cheap Repository tracts was enduring, and the tracts were often reprinted in England and America well into the nineteenth century.
The immense success of the Cheap Repository tracts poses a challenge to their bibliographical control. In 1939, G H Spinney published a bibliography of those tracts housed in the British Library, and in the public libraries of Bristol and Bath.(1) In his words:
"In view of the ephemeral nature of these tracts and of the vast quantities which were issued, it is not to be expected that a preliminary list will do more than provide a rough outline of the innumerable issues and editions they went through".(2)
In fact, among the tracts held by the Clark Library are many issues (or editions) not listed in Spinney's bibliography. The purpose of my list is both to provide an inventory of the Clark's holdings and to supplement Spinney's bibliography, by identifying those Clark tracts which appear to correspond to entries in Spinney's bibliography, and those which are not represented there.
In order to allow my list to be used as a supplement to Spinney's bibliograpy, I have followed his format to a great extent, listing the tracts in the same order he listed them, and in individual entries recording the same elements in roughly the same order, with roughly the same punctuation. I have moved some information from the main body of the entry to an accompanying note, which also records copy-specific information.
In dating the tracts, or in approximating their dates of publication, I have followed Spinney's chronology and methodology, based primarily on when the tracts were entered at Stationer’s Hall, how the printers and distributors were listed and designated in the imprints, and on the presence in individual tracts of dated lists of past and future tracts. The dates that appear periodically in bold type in my list may be taken as the earliest possible date of issue for the group of tracts that follow. These are taken from Spinney. The first 22 tracts were all issued on March 3, 1795, and are referred to as “first-day tracts.” Subsequent dates in bold generally correspond to when the tracts were registered. I have tried to list subsequent issues of each tract in chronological order of publication.
The last line in each of my entries lists its corresponding number in Spinney's bibliography, or gives the information that the item is "not in Spinney." Sometimes more than one of the Clark’s tracts corresponds to an entry in Spinney. In these cases, I have followed the Spinney number by (1st), (2nd), etc. These designations are not meant to indicate the order of publication, but only to call attention to an expansion of Spinney’s list.
I hope that a more accurate accounting of the different manifestations of the Cheap Repository tracts will be of interest to scholars studying the tracts either as literature or as a publishing phenomenon, and will help to provide a surer basis for estimating the total number of the tracts printed by Hazard and Marshall.
All but a few of the Clark’s tracts were formerly owned by New York collector Roger Du Broff. Exceptions are noted.

Elaine Shiner has kindly given permission to allow publication of her work, and to note that this list is not yet complete and subject to revision. It is planned that the collected editions and later tracts will be added to the list in due course.
