Notes / Commentary:	LeBlanc examined only one issue, no. 182 (Samantha Among the Brethren). There were no advertisements of other issues. He estimated a beginning date of 1885 by working back from the dated issue. It appears that the series actually began earlier, published by The Farm and Fireside Co. Based on the location of both this company and the later publishers in Springfield, OH, it seems likely that these publications are all part of a single continuous series. Some titles were reprinted multiple times in the series with different numbers; some numbers were reused with different titles. It is possible that some of these changes corresponded with the publisher changing from "Mast, Crowell & Kirkpatrick" to simply "Crowell & Kirkpatrick." Nos. 2, 5, 10-11, 15-16, 20, 39, 65, 112, 116, 124, 132, 161, 168 and 178 were added based on the digitized copies in the Internet Archive. No. 177 was added based on the digitized copy in Google Books. Nos. 22, 26-28, 37, 43, 50-51, 54, 59, 93, 101, 103, 105, 107, 111, 117, 123, 134-135, 147, 156, 160, 166, 169, 175-176, 180, 188, 191, 197 and 199 were added based on WorldCat records. Nos. 171 and 193 were added based on the digitized copies in HathiTrust. Nos. 1, 3-4, 6-9, 12-14 and 17-19 were added based on advertising in nos. 15 and 16. Nos. 29, 181, the replacement 182 (Gems from the Poets) and 196 were added based on bookseller listings. No. 125 was added based on an image provided by Cary Sternick.
