J. M. Foutz published the 438 page edition before 1901 since it does not have the 1901 R. W. Paton copyright noted on the title page. It is not known whether this edition was earlier or later than the first Thompson and Thomas copy. I have no direct information about this publishing firm but it is interesting that a Thompson and Foutz firm was active in Chicago in the 1890’s. I suspect that this firm was the predecessor to both Thompson and Thomas and J. M. Foultz.
