Publisher's Blurb:

"The Proprietors of Beadle's American Sixpenny Library commenced in New York, two years since, the publication of a series of books, which embody the best works of the best authors in the fiction literature of America and Europe. Each issue embraced a complete work, prepared expressly for the series, and furnished at a price and in a style never before ventured by the American press. The enterprize from the commencement met with unparalleled success, exceeding the most sanguine expectations. These works being received with such general favour, and sought after with such extreme interest by the American reading public, the Publishers are induced to produce them in England simultaneous with America, feeling assured that there is a demand among British readers for such a class of literature as is presented in this series.

Each volume will contain one hundred and twenty-eight fcap. 8vo. pages of letterpress, printed with clear and expressly prepared type and paper, uniform in style and price.

The works will be issued as rapidly as consistent with the demands of the market and the claims of the trade."

Physical Description: Numbers issued by Beadle are in orange wrappers and printed in black or orange, red, and black. Routledge numbers have covers with orange and black cuts on a green background and orange backs. Wrappers often have advertisements for publishing firms other than Beadle.
Notes / Commentary: "THE ENGLISH BRANCH of Beadle & Co. functioned from February 15, 1861, to February 1, 1866, and during that time sixty-one numbers of Beadle's American Library were published at monthly intervals. With No. 62 George Routledge and Sons took over the publication. They continued the series to No. 84, and also, when the older numbers became exhausted, reprinted them with their own name on the title page." --Johannsen, A.
