The Religious Tract Society, founded 1799, was the original name of a major British publisher of Christian literature intended initially for evangelism, and including literature aimed at children, women, and the poor.  The RTS is also notable for being the publisher of the Boys' Own Paper[1] and Girl's Own Paper.  The founders were of the same type of evangelicals who founded the London Missionary Society and the British and Foreign Bible Society, for example David Bogue.  The society started by publishing tracts, but rapidly expanded their work into the production of books and periodicals.  Their books were mostly small but did include larger works such as the multi-volume Devotional Commentary and the massive Analytical Concordance to the Bible of Robert Young.
