Antique booklet: The Westminster Shorter Catechism

Ratified by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States at Augusta, Ga., December 4th, 1861.

Published by the Presbyterian Committee of Publication, Richmond, Va. (6-8 North Sixth Street address on cover and title page).

Softcover / paper wrappers
Classic question-and-answer format of the Westminster Shorter Catechism

Later printing that retains the historic 1861 ratification date (Southern Presbyterian / PCUS tradition)

Note: This copy has the later “6-8 North Sixth Street” address, indicating a post-1903/1905 reprint that still carries the historic 1861 ratification wording. The piece came out of my grandmother's Silliman College (Clinton, LA) yearbook and she graduated in 1919.

Condition: Age-toned paper with, light stains, edge wear, and handling marks consistent with age. Binding intact. No major tears or missing pages visible in photos. Please review all images carefully for exact condition.
