Book excerpt: The Cornish Fishermen's Watch-Night and Other Stories contains a plethora of religious stories compiled by the Religious Tract Society, originally founded in 1799. This long-standing society created many original works of Evangelical Christian literature aimed at children, women and the poor in the attempt to bring those considered pure and innocent into the Evangelical fold. In addition to their written literature, the Religious Tract Society also proselytized via their public works and founded the London Missionary Society and the British and Foreign Bible Society within locally destitute communities. An interesting read for scholars and students of religion, this book provides a variety of stories meant to educate and entertain Christian children. The title story evokes the important morals of purity and steadfastness for both children and adult readers as a newly arrived preacher converts his flock and leads them away from their sinful life to one of holiness and forgiveness. All of the tales discuss problems that the reader might engage in their own lives and offers concrete solutions for the reader as to how these problems can be overcome in a spiritual way, not through hate or anger, but with righteous devotion. These entertaining tales easily become guide-stones to readers who believe in Christianity and its primary tenets. The Cornish Fishermen's Watch-Night and Other Stories is an interesting book of religious parables written by the Religious Tract Society. As a side note, this group uncharacteristically allowed many women writers to provide stories for their books that were aimed specifically at female audiences -- giving these women opportunities that were typically denied them in this time period. Ultimately, this book would be an interesting read for anyone who likes religious stories and tales for children. This book also proves to hold important information for people who are interested in historic literature and the books of the Religious Tract Society.
