==Reception and legacy== Zamenhof received a wide range of reactions to ''Unua Libro'', from mocking criticism to avid interest.<ref>{{harvnb|Korzhenkov|2009|p=19}}</ref> In the hundreds of letters he received, he saw enough support to prompt him to publish ''Dua Libro'' in January 1888 and ''[[La Esperantisto]]'' in 1889, in order to provide more Esperanto reading material for those with interest.<ref>{{harvnb|Korzhenkov|2009|p=21}}</ref> In 1889, he also published Russian–Esperanto and German–Esperanto dictionaries to increase Esperanto vocabulary, as well as ''Aldono al la Dua Libro'', a supplement to ''Dua Libro'', to establish the definitive form of the language, a document he promised in part III of ''Unua Libro''.<ref name="Korzhenkov 2009 20">{{harvnb|Korzhenkov|2009|p=20}}</ref> By all measures, Zamenhof's "universal vote" campaign failed. By 1889, he had only reached 1000 signatures, a mere 0.01% of his goal of 10 million. Nevertheless, the Esperanto movement continued onward. Among the early supporters were educated [[History of the Jews in Russia|Russian]] and [[History of the Jews in Poland|Polish Jews]], [[Leo Tolstoy]] and his followers, [[Eastern Europe]]an [[Freemasonry|freemason]]s, and speakers of [[Volapük]] who had lost hope in their language.<ref name="Korzhenkov 2009 20"/>
