Notes / Commentary:	Sinclair Tousey and the American News Co. are given as the "publisher's agent" in the imprint. With no. 45, Beadle & Co. are given as the publisher and both a new and old series numbering are used (see American Tales (2nd Series)). It is likely that Tousey was acting for Beadle & Co. from the start, given that he sent acknowledgments of titles deposited for copyright to Beadle & Co. as early as 1867, antedating the change of imprint to Beadle & Co. First color covers done by Beadle, but not of the type later called "chromo" or "illuminated" covers. "The announced dates and the dates of actual appearance of the novels, as shown by newspaper advertisements ('Out today'), differ in some cases by as much as two weeks. In the following list the newspaper dates are given the preference." --Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels
