"In the list in the front of Frank Starr's Fifteen Cent Illustrated Novels, no. 15, the author is given as Margaret Blount, but this is an error, for the novel itself has the name Urban on cover and title. Previously published under the title 'The Vendetta,' as a serial in the New York Mercury, XXV, beginning in No. 1267, May 2, 1863. Here also the author is given as Urban."--Johannsen, A.
