In each case the above titles represent the publisher's first issue only for that year. IE some instances several editions appeared from the same publisher in the same year.
It will be seen by the following figures how the popularity of the writer has in- creased or decreased year by year. The small number of editions issued in 1900 and 1901 suggests a falling off of the Kipling mania, and is extremely remarkable when compared with the previous years' figures :
1890. Books and editions published 11
1891. 9
1892. 3
1893. 2
1894. 1
1895. 9
1896. . 2
1897. 14
1898. 19
1899. 61
1900. 10 1901 (to October 31) , 3
Thus in twelve years the number of Kipling's books published amounts to 144. These figures are, of course, influenced considerably by the paragraph immediately following the issues above in 1901.
The editions are issued by thirty - one publishers, and are distributed among them as follows :
Claflin 27
Scribner 18
Mansfield 12
