Sunday School Books
Published by Sheldon, Blakeman & Co./Sheldon & Co.
This library has been noted to include 100 titles. I have only seen
a list that goes to 57 books. Sheldon, Blakeman & Co. published the
Sunday School Books in 1859 as a set of 22 volumes. Some of the titles
were also in the Sheldon set of the 1860's which are noted below
whereas others were not. The earlier Sheldon, Blakeman & Co. books
are noted by SB after the titles in the list. The "not included"
volumes are noted below the list.
Most of the Sheldon books were subsequently part of various Sheldon
& Co. libraries or series.
By December, 1859 there were 54 titles in this series which was also
called the Sabbath School Library.
Since the books themselves do not indicate that they are part of this
series, it is very difficult to determine whether a book in hand is
part of this library or not. It would seem logical that if a title is
part of a subsequent series and the book in hand's format does not
conform to that series' format, then it belongs to this series.
