Notes
Many numbers are unfolded sheets with the advertisement, "Great pictorial double Brother Jonathan for 4th of July ... [signed:] B.H. Day, 48 Beekman Street, New York." On the other side is the introductory letter from which the title is taken, followed by "List of books for sale at Brother Jonathan Office ...," a prospectus for Brother Jonathan, "Do you want a good weekly newspaper? If so you cannot do better than subscribe to the Brother Jonathan ...," and a "List of cheap books for sale at the Brother Jonathan Office ..."
