A children’s writing book, Rai Tammo Lae was the first book of its kind published in the Sherbro language of West Africa. It was based on the Tract Primer, a popular textbook issued by the American Tract Society, and was translated by John White, the publisher of the Sherbro dictionary featured on this site a few months ago. The only known copy, as of this writing, is now available here.

Part three of the Daily Worker covers December 1925 through August 1927. As with the earlier posts in this series, the quality of the microfilm is far from perfect. Many issues were filmed with uneven lighting, which renders some portions unreadable. But they are better than nothing. At the very least, they can provide a guide to further research in the original sources.
Issues from December 1925 through August 1926 are available here.
Issues from September 1926 through January 1927 are available here.

The Connecticut Courant was one of the earliest and most widely circulated journals in colonial America. It was also an influential and longstanding proponent of the independence movement.

Now known as the Hartford Courant, it remains the oldest newspaper in continuous publication in the United States.
