I Number of novels in each series.
II Number in each series never previously published by Beadle.
III Number in each series never reprinted by Beadle in other series.
IV Number of stories in the various series which originally appeared as serials in Beadle's story papers.
Notes
1 | The titles in Vols. II and III are unknown, but since the tales in Vols. I and IV are reprints, these are probably also. |
2 | The number of originals is probably right, although not all have been seen, consequently reprints of a few may be listed as originals in other series which may possibly make an error of four or five in total of originals. |
3 | In the second series, part of one was not reprinted. |
4 | The first 26 numbers, which were the same as Frank Starr's New York Dime Library but with new headings, are counted as new issues. |
5 | This total contains some duplication since a serial in one of the story papers may have appeared later in several "libraries."
