Publisher's Blurb:	"The success that has attended the publication of the (Lovell's) Library so far, has encouraged the Publishers to announce two new series, which, should sufficient encourage be accorded them, will be issued fortnightly for the present, and oftener as the demand warrants it. These will be entitled "The Sunday Series" and the Centennial Series and will be distinguished from the regular issue by different colored covers. (Lovell's Library had green covers at this time). The Sunday Series will contain works by Standard English and European writers and in addition to foreign selections will, from time to time, include sermons, essays and stories, by prominent American preachers and Authors. A high standard of moral and literary excellence is set for this series which, while containing only the best writings, books that will instruct as well as fasten and hold the attention of readers, will also contain only the writings of authors charitably broad and thoroughly unsectarian. Among the first volumes in this series will be..."
Notes / Commentary:	LeBlanc never saw one. The discovery of a copy of Lovell's Library no. 39, dated October 19, 1882, with "SUNDAY SERIES" printed on the cover suggests that this probably was not a distinct series but rather a subseries of Lovell's Library. It is not yet clear whether any of these issues exist both with and without the "SUNDAY SERIES" branding. It appears likely that the numbering used in this listing is based on advertisement order but does not reflect actual numbering on physical volumes.
