Editor: William A. Alcott, v. 1-4. Cf. Alcott, W.A. Boys's guide to usefulness, p. 116.

Biweekly numbers were 16 pages each, with quarterly reissues about 100 pages each. The monthly issues were 32 pages each. Beginning with volume 4 (1836) the volume ran from January to December. To make up for the lack of issues in vol. 3 which would have been supplied by the Jan.-March 1846 issues, some numbers were issued as double numbers in 1845.

Undesignated reprint. This reprint lacks the notation "specimen issue" on no. 1, and lacks the printer in the colophon. Originally issued in biweekly and quarterly parts. Through 1834, Quarterly issues have "part" on the title page and in the volume and issue designation. After 1834 only the issue title pages have the word "part" and the individual and quarterly issues are printed from the same set of stereotype plates. Some undesignated reprints also show typographical and illustration changes. At least ten numbered editions of <no. 1> were printed. Volume compilations have typographical and illustration changes as well as dual page numbering.
