This set was published by the Mershon Company.
The first list I have seen was in 1899 and included the first 18
titles.
In 1900 lists that included the first 20 books and then 21 titles have
been noted.
After 1902 books #22-29 were printed with the books added slowly:
first 22-24, then 25-27 and then 28-29.
A number of these titles also were part of the Wideawake Series and the Barnard Edition (Pre-1902).
