Leeds Friends Tract Association.

Hide Profile

The Leeds Friends Tract Association was formed in 1854, for the purpose of distributing Christian tracts, such as those produced by the Friends Tract Associations in London and York. The city was divided into districts, each with a Friend responsible for maintaining a stock of tracts for loan or distribution. Tracts were also supplied to Friends Meetings and Adult Schools in Leeds and the West Riding. The Association was active until around 1889; in 1899, the work revived under a Tract Committee of Leeds: Carlton Hill Preparative Meeting, but eventually ceased in the mid-1920s.
