Notes:
Unillustrated Contents from Library of Congress e-copy at LOC.gov, which contains presumable front cover, images 7-8. That outside front cover, image 7, shows: -- Tri-Weekly -- Vol. 9, No. 453 -- November 1, 1884 -- Annual subscription price $30.00

Price 20 cents (the usual single-issue price, confirmed) is from listing in "Additions to the Libraries", American Bookseller 1884-11-01 p429; this one among #451 to 459. (Stated publication date of this source matches that of the publication.)

Library of Congress (LCCN and OCLC 1041637978) reports 230 pp, but 239 is correct.
