In the course of a long correspondence with Dr. Edward L. Youmans relative to the publication of the work, he frequently said that its title was against it, and in a letter dated March 18, 1886, or nearly three years after its appearance, and less than a year before his death, speaking of the moderate sales, he said: “It had two intrinsic drawbacks – its high price and its most unfortunate title.
