Publisher's Blurb:

In this publication the publishers propose a succession of brilliant and highly attractive Novels, Romances, and Narratives from the very best sources, and by the most Popular Writers in America and England.

To place in the hands of our great reading public at the nominal price of ten cents per number, a line of literature hitherto only accessible in the rather expensive shape of bound books, or in serial form in the magazines and papers, is the purpose of our "Library." . . .

And to render it a "Welcome Guest" at Fireside and Social Circles, in Homes and Libraries, in the Office and the Shop, each and every issue will contain a complete Novel and installments of a Serial by some celebrity in the literary world—thus presenting a double attraction. . . .

There will, therefore, be twenty-six numbers per year, embracing twenty-six entire novels or narratives, a considerable number of first-class serials by eminent authors, numerous sketches, &c., &c., all for the remarkably low price of ten cents per number or one dollar and twenty-five cents per six months, or two dollars and fifty cents per year!

Notes / Commentary: Issue No. 16 initially featured the story The Octoroon. It was later replaced with The Quadroon. Elsewhere, this story exists as The Romance of the Green Seal.
