Notes / Commentary:	The title page for Speaker no. 1 reads "The title page reads: "A companion to the Dime Dialogues. The Dime Speaker: Being Gems of Oratory for the School, the Exhibition-Room, the Home Circle, and the Study: Comprising Specimens of Wit, Humor, Pathos, and Discourse, from Fresh and Eminent Sources, by Louis Legrand, M.D. New York: Irwin P. Beadle, 137 William Street."--Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels. Later editions of Speaker no. 1 omitted Legrand's name. It is unclear if Legrand authored all issues of the Dime Speakers. The exact dates for all issues in this series are not known. The dates used are an assortment of copyright dates, advertising dates, issued dates, and dates when the issue was listed among other Beadle publications.
