, in 1832, prepared a small school geography for a Western publisher, and ten years later the Harpers had brought out her Mayflower. Still, neither of these had been sufficiently remunerative to cause her to regard literary work as a money-making business, and in regard to this new contract she writes: I did not know until a week afterward precisely what terms Mr. Stowe had made, and I did not care.

C. cloth $.56, and this was the first copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin ever sold in book form. Fi
