Pseudonyms of Various Beadle Authors

'Twas not enough, the name he bore,
He had to use some three or four.
JURGEN PETER KRAG

The pseudonyms, except as indicated, have been verified either from the by-lines of several different editions of the author's novels, or from published biographies. In the latter case, however, unless the pseudonyms were used for Beadle publications, no attempt was made to check the published statements. A question mark after the first name (pen name) indicates that it has not been determined with absolute certainty as belonging to the author whose name follows. Where the second name is enclosed in parentheses and is questioned, it indicates that while this and the first name both belong to the same author, it has not been established that the second name itself is not a pseudonym.

The list includes only names used by Beadle authors, or wished on them by the publishers, although not all of them were used in Beadle publications. Names incorrectly spelled in by-lines, due perhaps to careless editing (as Isley for Ilsley, etc.) are included among the pen names.

† The reasons for pairing the following names are given in this volume under the authors' names.

In the Dime Novel Round-Up during the past two years, various lists of pseudonyms of dime-novel authors have been published, but most of them do not give the reasons for pairing the true names with the false, consequently in the list below, the unverified pairs, even of Beadle authors, are not included.
