This series was initially a high-seller, but it soon came under fire for ‘improper’ stories. In 1884 Anthony Comstock charged Tousey for printing G. W. M. Reynolds’ "The Mysteries of the Court of London" in The Brookside Library, a story deemed a vice. Frank Tousey’s uncle, Sinclair Tousey, provided him with bail and the nephew’s legal adviser, W. H. Townley, claimed that Comstock’s accusation was a personal vendetta against Tousey for caricatures made of the former in The Judge under Tousey’s ownership. Following review in the Tombs, Tousey was required to destroy the plates in order to avoid further prosecution. The Brookside Library was published weekly by Frank Tousey based in New York, USA. It ran from 1882 to 1884 for a total of 410 issues. I am not a grader so I make sure the scans are close and as detailed as I can make them.
