- Notes: The first book to contain illustrations by Denslow and hitherto unrecorded. Greene and Hearne record one of the lithographs by Denslow, the splendid view of Easton on the Delaware, but mistakenly give as its source a later history. This view was also believed to be issued as a separate print. Of the 3 lithographed plates with the signature "W W Denslow" or simply the artist's initials, two are double-page.
