- Advertisement on p. [4] of cover for publications of the American Tract Society, "New York: 150 Nassau Street. Boston: 28 Cornhill. Also to be had in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other principal cities and towns." The American Tract Society was located at 150 Nassau St., New York, from 1832-1914, and at 28 Cornhill, Boston, from 1842-1869. "In 1825 the Boston-based American Tract Society merged with the New-York Religious Tract Society to form a new organization, which called itself The American Tract Society. The American Tract Society (Boston, Mass.) became the New England Branch of the New York American Tract Society, while maintaining its autonomy. In 1859 a major break occurred between the two American Tract Societies, due to a difference of opinion over the issue of whether or not to publish tracts which concerned 'the sin of slavery' ... The two societies rejoined briefly in 1868, under a 'harmonious agreement' which allowed the Boston ATS to operate in New York and vice versa, but re-separated in 1869."--S.J. Wolfe, "Dating American Tract Society publications through 1876 from external evidences." American Antiquarian Society. Web. 7 May 2018.
