The American author S.G. Goodrich claimed exclusive rights to the pseudonym "Peter Parley" and quarreled with its use by both British and American publishers for works of which he denies authorship and for bogus re-workings of his writings under the Parley name. He also objected to the use of the pseudonym for this Annual, the authorship of which he bears no responsibility. Cf. Goodrich, S.G. Recollections of a lifetime.
