Introduced as a series in 1884. Previously some of these titles had been parts of various Dodd, Mead series as well as the Economical Primary Series, No. 1

Numerous black and white illustrations.

There is nothing in the books that identifies which series they are part of. I have seen two different covers which have not been noted on any other Dodd, Mead & Co. titles. It is uncertain whether either of the covers belong to this series. They are shown below for completeness.

Cloth. Various colors. LIne dawn illustration with non book specific appliqué on the front cover. 6" x 4".
