This book was a big seller for Altemus. As can be seen in this 1903 ad
from "The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer", Altemus had sold
10,000 copies during the first year of this title's publication. The
popularity of this title probably explains the necessity for three
printings of the first edition.
