The newspapers were all published in New York City. “Belles and Beaux” was a home weekly issued during 1874. It is represented by Number 3 of Volume I. Only a few scattered numbers are known. “Girls of Today,” which came out in 1875/6, is shown in a complete volume. The “Young New Yorker,” which was issued in 1878/9, is also on view in the shape of a complete volume. It was an excellent illustrated journal intended to foster a love of nature and out-of-door life, and completes the cycle of Beadle literature, which, for extent and variety, has scarcely been approached by any other American publisher. The remainder of the collection (not exhibited) consists of numerous series of adventure tales and other dime novels, nearly all of which were inspired by, and followed, in the wake of the Beadle imprints. First in this section come thirty-two of the tales published by DeWitt in imitation of the original salmon-colored Beadle books. Robert DeWitt began their publication in New York in 1867, closely following the outward appearance of the Beadle books, and they continued to appear, to the number of more than 118, during the following ten years. To some degree, also, the DeWitt volumes dealt with the same pioneer subjects and conditions, although they were frankly fiction, and not nearly so well written as the Beadle books. Another imitator of Beadle had appeared in Boston in 1864 or 1865, in the shape of the publishing firm of Elliott, Thomes and Talbot, which then began the issuance of a series of little blue bound books of adventure. Some thirteen of this series are known. They are excellently made volumes, well printed, of about 120 pages each, and were sold for ten cents. They, however, were not wholly confined to American life in their subject matter, but included stories dealing with other lands. Still a third imitator of Beadle was Sinclair Tousey of New York, who, in 1864, began publishing a series called “American Tales.” These were octavos in colored illustrated covers, and were sold for 15 cents. They (doubtless due to the date of their appearance) relate to the Civil War and its events.
