Series Notes:
1. In 1911 the 27 books that originally made up this series were deleted from Series #202- Format 3- Young People's Library to become this series.
2. The size and covers of these books are the same as that of the Young People's Library, Format 3 with a few color changes here and there.
3. In 1915 the non Abbott titles were deleted from this series-leaving 18 books.
4. The first editions of this series list the 27 volumes on the back of the dust jacket and the series' book number on the spine. Later editions had the Young People's Library jacket used for the title prior to 1911. Without the jacket the earliest editions cannot always be distinguished from the later editions.
5. These books can be distinguished from the earlier books of the Young People's Library because the books of this series always have an ad in the back for the Stories from History Series.
6. If the picture of a particular book cover is not listed here, it can be found on the Young People's Library format 3 page. http://henryaltemus.com/series/series202F3.htm
