Notes / Commentary:	LeBlanc examined only one issue, No. 8, and saw no advertisements for the series. No. 8 does not contain any information on other titles in the series. Titles 1, 2, 4-7, 9-12, 14 and 15 come from the Z. Smith Reynolds library catalog at Wake Forest University. Notes in these library records confirm the blue paper-covered format described by LeBlanc. Title 13 comes from WorldCat. Titles 16, 19-21, 23 and 24 come from digitized copies in the Internet Archive; remaining titles in the 17-27 range come from advertising within these digitized copies. Some dates have been estimated based on surrounding titles, but there are no obvious irregularities in the sequence.
