* Carpet. An English runner, Wilton, 1869, a hand-knotted wool runner, with overall pattern of fleurons in blue, pink, red, purple, and green, on a mustard yellow ground, whip-stitched edges (frayed in a few places), 69 x 426 cm (27 x 168 in) (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: Newton Surmaville House, Yeovil, Somerset. A runner made up from part of the original carpet which was sometime removed from the library at Newton Surmaville. The eight-sided carpet, irregularly-shaped to fit the room exactly and take in the oriel window, was part of an entire decorative scheme for the newly-formed library which was completed in 1870, hence the exact date of the weaving. Significantly, the carpet incorporates minor colours made up from very early acid dyes whilst the greater parts of it are of natural dyes.

The Cheap Repository Tracts were devised, and largely written, by Hannah More (who signed her own works 'Z'), and started appearing in 1795. Showing a remarkable grasp of marketing techniques, Miss More observed the children and young people of the poor avidly devouring the content of vulgar and seditious chapbooks, easily and cheaply purchased from hawkers and pedlars. The Cheap Repository Tracts copied their format and were printed in the same style, with crude woodcuts. Sensational titles were used, the Tracts were priced extremely cheaply, their cost being largely borne by subscriptions from charitable gentlefolk, and they were given free to the chapmen and hawkers, who then sold them at profit to themselves. After December 1797, a further fifteen new titles, written by Hannah More, were printed by John Evans, who took over from John Marshall as the official printer for the series. These were issued between December 1797 and October 1798, after which John Evans and his successors continued producing reprints of the original series. This collection contains a good selection of these reprints published under the J. Evans and Son, Howard and Evans, and other Evans imprints, plus a few other related tracts.
