Title from volume title page.

Started by Samuel G. Goodrich. See his Recollections, v. 2, p. 543.

Many of the engravings are by Alexander Anderson.

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.

Undated reprint of volume 4 (1836). Variant issue with a different woodcut on p. 8. 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.

Local Notes:

American Antiquarian Society copy contains both dual numbered annual reissues and original quartelry issues with some quarterly volume title pages.
