The new edition sold out within two months and was used in schools as had been hoped, though Poe received no royalties for its sales. It was the only volume by Poe to go into a second edition in the United States during his lifetime. The edition was the cause of several accusations of plagiarism against Poe. In 1844, Poe tried to publish more of his work with Harper's (which had also printed his novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket") but was informed by a friend, "They have "complaints" against you... grounded on certain movements of yours."
