 This book was very popular with economics students of the time, but the publishing of the book was short lived.This was because her husband Alfred wrote the far more successful, "The Principles of Economy" in 1890, and then saw no reason to publish their other work anymore seeing it as inferior.Though she never expressed her feelings about Alfred doing this it obviously had an effect on her because she never again published a book of her own, she just aided Alfred in his writing from this point on.
