"Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion was one of America's most popular illustrated newspapers. It covered all aspects of life both here and abroad. The paper began publication in 1851. As stated by Gleason's:" ...the object of the paper is to present, in the most elegant and available form, a weekly literary melange of notable events of the day, its columns are devoted to original tales, sketches and poems, by the Best American authors, and the cream of the domestic and foreign news; the whole well spiced with wit and humor.This illustrated newspaper really is a window into the past. The written and illustrated articles give one a glimpse of what life was like 150 years ago and the matters that were of concern and interest to the people of those days

Joseph Holt Ingraham {F. Clinton Barrington}; A few of the novels which appeared in the New York Mercury or Ballot's Weekly Novelette in the late 1850's under the name "F. Clinton Barrington," are "Young Fisherman The Cruiser of the English Channel," "Ildaire, the Destroyer," "Conrado de Beltran," "Red Hand; or, The Cruiser of the English Channel," "The Lady Imogene," "BelIsabel," 'Fitz-Hern; or, The Rover of the Irish Seas," "Captain Belt; or, The Buccaneers of the Gulf," etc.
"The last of these stories was begun in Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion, I, September 13, 1851, 306, as "Conrado de Beltran: or, The Buccaneers of the Gulf. A Romantic Story of the Sea and the Shore." This was later published by Gleason's successor as one of Ballou's Novelettes, in 1858 or 1859, under the title "Captain Belt; or, The Buccaneers of the Gulf" and with the same by-line, namely, F. Clinton Barrington. Recently Mr. Ralph Adimari, in a letter of November 12, 1952, mentioned finding in Ballou's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion, XVI, 1859, 408, column 4, the following announcement: "Captain Belt; or, The Buccaneers of the Gulf . . . is the best novelette Professor Ingraham ever produced, and was written expressly for this establishment." Since this appeared in print while Ingraham was still living and by the successor to the original publisher, it must be accepted as the truth, and Barrington's name must be added to the list of Joseph Holt Ingraham's pen names. All the stories with this by-line or the by-line A. G. Piper, consequently, must be transferred to J. H. Ingraham's list. Haynes's and Cushing's statements that Barrington was a pen name of Julius Warren Lewis must be considered erroneous, and the Barrington stories and the Piper reprint must be transferred to J. H. Ingraham's list"
