| Publisher's Blurb: | From "Two Lillies" by Julia Kavanaugh: "In Uniform octavo volumes, handsomely illustrated, and bound either in paper covers or in muslin. Price, in paper $1.00; in cloth $1.50. In this series of Romances are included the famous novels of LOUISA MUHLBACH. Since the time when Sir Walter Scott produced so profound a sensation in the reading world, no historical novels have achieved a success so great as those from the pen of Louisa Muhlbach." |
| Physical Description: | LeBlanc never saw one. |
| Notes / Commentary: | This listing is drawn from the July, 1884 "Catalogue of D. Appleton & Co.'s Publications" found in The Publisher's Trade List Annual. Titles 1-22 are confirmed by LeBlanc. LeBlanc listed A Chaplet of Pearls as no. 23, but WorldCat records and the aforementioned advertisement suggest that the order found here is more accurate. |
