Series notes:
1. When I was a Boy in China by Yan Phou Lee was first published by D.
Lothrop & Company in 1887. The 111 pages of text are identical to
later D. Lothrop & Company,
Lothrop Publishing Company and the Lothrop, Lee and Shepard versions.
The pre Lothrop, Lee and Shepard books do not have the 15 photographic
illustrations within the book. All the editions have the author's
photograph as the frontispiece.
2. When I Was a Girl in Italy was first published in 1892 by D. Lothrop
Company as Italian Child-Life.
The Italian Child-Life title was published later by Lothrop Publishing
Company. The name of the book was changed to "When I was a Girl in
Italy" when it joined the series in 1906.
3. All of these titles have a number of photographs illustrating the
content. There are a few maps, etc.
4. On the copyright page, it shows a date of publication. This is most
often inaccurate. The more accurate date can be determined by looking
at the last title in the series list and noting when that volume was
published.
When I was a Boy in China.
D. Lothrop & Co. published the first edition in 1887. I have not
