Eight "Lovell's" series are covered in the first December 1889 issue of The American Bookseller: A Semi-Monthly Journal [...] ("Additions to the Libraries", pp. 666-67):

One more series is known from October 1890, then published by United States Book Company, the successor to John W. Lovell.

Four of nine are now ISFDB publishers (linked); that is, they have at least one publication in the database.
