Notes:

Cover: 'THE NOVELIST aims to give currency to a HIGH-CLASS of Fiction only ; it will publish during the year not less than eight complete Novels, by the most famous and popular authors ; such Novels as cost commonly, bound, from $8.00 to $12.00, and even in the FRANKLIN SQUARE, SEASIDE or LOVELL LIBRARIES, from $1.50 to $2.00, but here cost only 50 cents.' See scans for further details. Also from the cover: 'This story is published COMPLETE in the present issue of THE NOVELIST which is a DOUBLE NUMBER, the issue for August and September being combined.' This would seem to indicate that besides being a periodical The New York Novelist usually published novels in parts, this being a special or double edition thus allowing for a complete novel in one edition.
