Hillside Library

Published by Henry Hoyt

This multi volume multi authored publisher's series was begun as early as 1861 and was published as late as 1869. I have not found a list of the titles included in the series but the books which are blindstamped with various embossed patterns note Hillside Library on the cover.

As titles are discovered, they will be added.

Known titles are listed below. It is not always clear what year a particular title was added to the “Library”.
Copyright dates are noted if known.

Appreciate that many of these titles were parts of different series/libraries between the 1860’s and late 1870’s.
They are listed alphabetically not chronologically.

By 1867 there were only eight titles in this library.
