Q: To whom it may concern:
What can you tell me about this book (The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin)? Is it part of a series? When was the first edition published? How is that indicated? How many copies were printed?

A: Your book was published in 1895 as part of the Vademecum Series. See: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series179.htm

The Altemus edition is a reprint. I am unaware of how many copies Altemus published but this book is fairly common.
