For this large edition and for the editions issued in the British colonies and in continental Europe I have never received a penny.

A great many men have made money out of the book, but my own returns have been comparatively small.

For its use in serial form I received nothing beyond my salary as editor.

On the copyright edition I have received the moderate royalty allowed to young authors at the outset of their work.

The sale of the American edition in the first twenty years amounted to seventy thousand copies.
