Title from volume title page.

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

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

Many of the engravings are by Alexander Anderson.

Publisher varies: In 1834, Samuel Colman succeeded Lilly, Wait & Co. Between 1834 and 1835, Charles S. Francis and Joseph H. Francis, of New York and Boston, purchased the magazine. See also F.L. Mott, History of American magazines, v. 1, pp. 622-623.

Some issue title pages list numerous booksellers and agents.

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.

Quarterly re-issues, in parts, printed from the same stereotype plates as the individual issues. Quarterly issues have "part" on the title page and in the volume and issue designation. Volume compilations were made up of both individual and quarterly issues with typographical and other changes made on the stereotype plates. Subsequent undesignated editions also show typographical changes. At least ten numbered editions of <no. 1> were printed.
