Boys' Popular Library lists four Mayne Reid titles in its 57
volume list. This series is not to be confused with the larger Boys’
Own Library which was published in the same time frame (i. e.
1902-1904). It appears that Street and Smith shared the plates of its
Boy’s Popular Library with the Federal Publishing Company.
