    The Romancist and Novelist’s Library (New Series), Vol. I ed. William Hazlitt (J. Clements, April 1841, 532pp, hc, an)
        The new series switched to a chapbook format, with the remaining seven volumes of the Library consisting of twenty-four monthly parts. There was no sequential page numbering in the series as they were simply bound volumes of the chapbooks. The new series had less horror fiction than the first, concentrating on more sensationalistic fiction of the day but again, because of the special significance of the series full contents are included for completeness.
