These books were written as a response to Henry Hoyt's call for
written work.
Originally “Golden Heart” by Julia McNair Wright (Copyright 1867) was
listed as title #3.
By later in 1867 it was replaced in lists by “After Years”.
All of these books were published in 1867.
This prize series needs to be distinguished from the later New Prize
Series for Boys and Girls.
Multiple full page illustrations.
Two formats have been seen. It appears that the gilt title on the
cover format is the earlier of the two.
Format 1:
Cloth. Gilt title on the cover. Gilt lettering and “prize
volume” on the spine.
These editions appear to be earlier because of the 1868 date on a title
page. 7” x 4.5”.
Format 2
Cloth. Blindstamped.
Gilt title and lettering that says “Prize Library” is noted on the
spine.
(This can be seen —barely— on the book below.) 6.75” x 4.5"
