*-these numbers are missing their covers, on which are
printed the valuable 'Our Friends' Society' lists, giving
the names, employers, and postal addresses of 100 boys from
recent immigration parties.
Note 1. Frequency of publication was predominantly
quarterly, with these exceptions: 1895: 8 issues; 1896: 12
issues; 1902: 8 issues. Beginning ca. 1940 until 1949: 1
issue per year.
Note 2. There are 55 distinct numbers in the list above. An
approximate figure for the total number of issues in its 55
years of publication is 205.
Note 3. If one removes the Liverpool numbers from the list,
one can see that, until about 1930, there are few issues in
public collections : an 1895, 1898, a 1900, 1913, 1924,
1927. Furthermore they are difficult to access with the
possible exception of the 1895, which is becoming somewhat
widely available in Canada in university libraries, on CIHM
reproduction microform.
