Wikipedia description:

The Religious Tract Society was a British evangelical Christian organization founded in 1799 and known for publishing a variety of popular religious and quasi-religious texts in the 19th century. The society engaged in charity as well as commercial enterprise, publishing books and periodicals for profit. Periodicals published by the RTS included Boy's Own Paper, Girl's Own Paper and The Leisure Hour. In 1935, it merged into what is today the United Society for Christian Literature.
