The text says it was written in 1953, but the text also makes it apparent that it was written in 1853. I Googled the title, and a UNC website confirms that 1853 was the publication date. I'd fix it myself but this page is locked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.78.86 ( talk) 15:31, 2 April 2011 (UTC) reply

The publisher of the first edition was Garrigues Bros, Philadelphia. The title here is from the 3rd edition.
