  Project was apparently an attempt on Gray's part to supply a growing market for religious titles designed for children; the back cover of the American Antiquarian Society copy (and filmed by the Early American Imprints Series) carries an advertisement for several such titles then available from Gray, with a closing sentence reporting that Sunday schools would be "supplied on most reasonable terms" at his store.
