Notes / Commentary:	Beadle's first experiment with the thin quarto format, printed without wrappers and held together by stitches through the fold. The series was apparently unsuccessful, and the publisher would not issue another quarto until 1877. Stories are reprinted from Beadle's Dime Novels and Beadle's Dime Fiction, with the exception of one original story by J. F. C. Adams in no. 5. After no. 15, the series was converted into a story paper, but ran for only three issues. See New and Old Friends, 2nd Ser.
