Where can I find information regarding the
origination of tracts?

God
said that people should publish His Word. Psalm 68:11 says, "The Lord gave the word:
great was the company of those that published it." Good gospel tracts are filled with
Scripture for people to read. Giving out gospel tracts is like planting seeds of Scripture
into hearts. Luke 8:1-15 says, "And when much people were gathered together, and were
come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed:
and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the
air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered
away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up
with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an
hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said,
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the
parable is this: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. Those by the way side are they that hear;
then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word
with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation
fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go
forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit
to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
