Notes / Commentary: The first 60 titles were provided in LeBlanc's original listing. Numbers 61 and 62 come from advertising in the back of no. 66. Numbers 63-67 and 69 come from examining the collection at the Library of Congress. Number 68 comes from "books received" list in Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art for July 1881 (in "Publishers' Miscellany" near end). Number 70 comes from "works worthy of mention" on page 448 of The Presbyterian Review, v. 3, no. 10. LeBlanc listed no. 61 as "Poverina," but the LC holdings and some Appleton advertising suggests that it is actually no. 63.
