† The original Beadle publication of this volume was not seen, but a reprint published by C. H. Clark, 13 Paternoster Row, London, was. It was registered at the British Museum, December 22, 1868, just a few months after Routledge ceased publishing the Beadle reprints. In this volume the three stories are bound together with a single title page (similar to that shown for Standard Library of Romance, vol. 3, in Fig. 28, page 120, Vol. I, of this book) with the author of the group given as Edward S. Ellis. There are no separate title pages for the individual stories, but each has its title above the beginning of the story. Each story has its own pagination; 5-96, 5-112, 5-110. While the title page is not quite as clearly marked to indicate that all three stories are by the same author as is the one in Fig. 28, it is at least implied. Although this English reprint is not definite proof that it contains the same stories as Vol. IV, Standard Library of Romance, as issued by Beadle in New York, there seems to be no reason to doubt it.

† "The Wrecker's Prize," when it first appeared as Dime Novels, no. 65, was given as by Henry J. Thomas, but Henry J. Thomas (see Vol. II, 268) was an unknown author, one of whose stories, Dime Noveks, no. 43, was actually written by John Lewis. Confusion is caused by the fact that the title page of Standard Library of Romance, vol. 3 (Fig. 120) includes under Thomas' name "The Golden Belt," which in the original novel was given as by Colin Barker, another unidentified name. If Thomas was actually Ellis, then he was also Colin Barker unless the title page of Standard Library of Romance, vol. 3 is misleading. Temporarily, in this book, "The Wrecker's Prize" will be left under the name Henry J. Thomas.

† Among the advertisements in the back of one of the early dime novels it was announced that Standard Library of Romance, vol. 3 would appear September 20, 1862. However, this was not so, for the third novel in the book, Dime Noveks, no. 62, was not issued until February 2, 1864, and 4i-Lon not until July i, 1864; consequently the date of issue must have been later.
