The book appears to have been held in the New York Times Library. This appears to be a branch of the New York Public Library, but this has been difficult to confirm.
[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2022: Largely written by G.W. Stow before his death in 1882. The unfinished manuscript was purchased by the linguist Lucy Lloyd at an unknown date. Lloyd had intended to publish the work, but became preoccupied by other duties. In 1904, she presented it to G.M. Theal, who set to work on preparing it for publication. This involved cutting unnecessary material, organising the remainder of the book into digestible chapters, and introducing a preface. Theal had completed his editing by May 1905. The book was published by Swan Sonnenschein & Co., Ltd. in London and the Macmillan Co. in New York that same year. A copy of the book was acquired by the New York Public Library, seemingly in 1936. It was digitised by Google at an unknown date. A copy was acquired by FHYA in November 2021. It was Uploaded by Benathi Marufu for FHYA in February 2022.]
