determines its price. There will, of course, under any system, be cheap and dear editions of every good book, domestic as well as foreign, copyrighted or otherwise.

The works of American authors remain unaffected by the proposed law, except in so far as a stimulus to higher work may, and undoubtedly will be given to them.

All works of foreign authors published before the proposed law takes effect retain their present status. The law will be necessarily prospective. Its passage will be advantageous to our own authors, publishers, and artists, just to all others, beneficial to our literature, and honorable to our civilization.

Your committee report the bill favorably, with slight verbal amendments.

It is believed that American authors, publishers, printers, booksellers, and all others engaged in making and distributing American books, periodicals, and newspapers are even more nearly unanimous in support of an international copyright law than they were when the foregoing report was written. The International Typographical Union of North America, composed of three hundred and three subordinate unions, representing all sections of the United States, and having an aggregate membership of nearly forty thousand, heartily indorsed the proposed legislation by a resolution adopted at the session held at Denver, Colo.. in June, 1889. This resolution was presented to your committee by Columbia Union No. 101.

At the annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association held in New York February 13, 1890. the following resolution was unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That the American Newspaper Publishers Association is in hearty sympathy with the efforts now being made by American authors to obtain from Congress a fuller security for literary property, and we believe the proposed international copyright bill to be in the interest of the national honor and welfare.

Your committee approve of the substance of the pending bill, but regard its form as objectionable. It provides for the striking out and insert ing certain words in certain sections of the Revised Statutes without setting out in full the sections of the Revised Statutes as they will stand when amended

To meet this objection your committee report the said bill together with a substitute therefor, containing the substance of the pending bill in an unobjectionable form.

Your committee recommend that said substitute bill do pass and that said original bill (H. R. 3853) do lie upon the table.

LIBRARIANS IN FAVOR OF INTERNATIONAL

COPYRIGHT.

OVER two hundred librarians have signed an appeal to Congress (prepared by the American Copyright League) to pass the pending International Copyright bill on the ground that "the proposed law would stimulate American literature, would promote the sciences and the useful arts, would raise the standard of reading, and give it a better and more national tone, and would be in the interest of the whole people." Mr. R. U. Johnson, in speaking of this movement, said: "We may say that the librarians of the country are practically united in favor of the bill. neis, sentiment is quite as strong as that of the American magazines, which recently replied without a 'dissenting voice in support of the pending bill."

THE LOVELL COMBINATION: ITS
SCOPE AND PLANS.

THE following circular, which we print from advance proof, is going out or will presently be sent to the book and news trade of the United

States and Canada, under date of March 27:

In connection with the issuing of the accompanying Clearance Catalogue, it seems desirable to make an explanation as to the causes that have led to the consolidation of the various interests mentioned; and the results, it is hoped, with the coöperation of the book trade, may be attained.

For several years past little if any profit has been made in the publishing or handling of what are known as the Standard and Competitive Books, such as 12mos and poets. The intense competition has also led to a great deterioration in the manufacture-paper, in many cases, being used that would be spurned by a penny newspaper, combined with printing and binding that have brought reproach upon American publishers. It is notorious that such badly made books have never appeared elsewhere.

To remedy these recognized evils I endeavored to enlist the coöperation of the publishers of these classes of books, but found that the only solution lay in one firm or corporation obtaining possession of the plates and stock of the various editions, and, by enlisting the coöperation of the book trade, maintaining a higher grade of manufacture and stable prices.

For many years the indirect losses to the book trade have been very great, arising mainly from the fact that it was impossible to carry a wellassorted stock with any safety prices so constantly changing as to make it extremely hazardous to order for more than actual wants.

Books are peculiarly an article of merchandise, the sale of which can be increased or diminished by the larger or smaller stocks carried by the dealers. A large and well-assorted stock will attract purchasers, but such stock can only safely be carried if prices can be assured and indiscriminate cutting be forever abolished.

My plan, briefly, then, is to obtain by purchase the plates of the various competing editions of standard sets, poets and 12mos, now published in this country. This has been practically accomplished.

It is too late to make any changes for this spring, but for the fall trade the editions now in preparation will be printed on fine book paper, well bound, and, prices considered, be as creditable specimens of book-making as can be obtained.

To cover the extra cost of manufacture, a slight advance will be made in the prices that ruled for the inferior-made books of last year. The prices will be uniform. All jobbers will be required to sell at publisher's prices, and dealers who will coöperate in maintaining prices can depend upon buying at lowest rates, and upon being protected should competing editions appear at any time. While it is impossible, for this year at least, to regulate retail prices, it is believed that the example of the publisher and jobber will be followed by the retailer, and in selling a fair percentage be added to the cost, so as to realize a reasonable profit. At any rate, the dealer can depend that no discounts will be given by the publisher, except to the trade, and the competition of the publisher will thus be removed. The great object to be attained will be to protect the legitimate bookseller, and any suggestion as

[ocr errors]

to how that may be better accomplished will be heartily welcomed by the publisher.

To close out the inferior-made editions of last year the present Clearance Catalogue is issued. It is recognized that the considerable number of these books still on hand may lead to some demoralization in prices this year. Nevertheless, the stock of these books is less than one-fifth of the normal yearly demand, and the fact that increased prices will rule in the fall will lead to their rapid consumption.

The plates of the competing editions of standard sets, 12mos and poets, that have already been obtained or contracted for are from:

HURST & COMPANY,
WORTHINGTON COMPANY,

W. L. ALLISON,

[blocks in formation]

DONOHUE, HENNEBERRY & CO., Chicago.

BELFORD, CLARKE & Co.,

J. B. LIPPINCOTT Co., Philadelphia.

And the plates and, stock of the paper-covered series of

GEORGE MUNRO.
NORMAN L. MUNRO,
NATIONAL PUBLISHING CO.,

New York.

And it is expected the negotiations with the few remaining firms will soon be successfully concluded.

Competition hereafter can only have one result-the cheapening of prices and manufacture, with a return to the demoralization that has ruled during the past two or three years. No competing edition can be made so cheaply that the trade cannot depend upon a still cheaper one being issued to protect the interests I represent, and therefore no stocks of such a competing edition could be bought with any security as to price.

By declining to handle such competing editions. should such appear, the trade will protect itself. I, on my part, pledge myself to the maintenance of stable prices. uniform alike to all dealers throughout the country. Controlling more than one-half the yearly output of cloth-bound books handled by the trade (school-books excepted) and over three-fourths of the paper-covered books, it will be my constant aim to study the interests of the legitimate book and news dealer; and the plan I expect to inaugurate this year, to be announced later, will, I trust, accomplish that result.

In the sincere hope that a brighter era has dawned for the book trade to publishers, jobbers, and retailers alike, Very respectfully,

JOHN W. LOVELL.

WAR AGAINST THE THREE-VOLUME NOVEL.

AGITATION against the three volume novel system has again begun in England. No one can be found who is willing to take the responsibility for the existence of this ancient nuisance. Says a recent writer of novels in a letter to London Truth: "As a novelist, may I ask you to discover who our Procrustes is? 'Not I,' writes Mr. Mudie, for I lose by the three-volume novel system.' 'So do I,' protests the publisher;

and I also,' groans the author; and I most of all,' growls the public. Who, then, keeps this universally execrated anachronism alive? This is a great mystery! I can tell Mr. Mudie in two words, however, how it can be killed in one season, to his great surprise, relief, and advantage. Let the libraries-who are the sole purchasers of three-volume novels-issue to the publishers a joint circular discountenancing them, and the thing is done. It could be done by a joint circular from Messrs. Mudie and Smith alone."

JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

Wide Awake for April tells the story of Smithson and the Smithsonian Institution.

Paper and Press for February, though late, is a superb issue. It may fairly be awarded the first prize among its contemporaries, for variety of contents and beauty of typography and print. All who are interested in matters relating to paper and printing should see this valuable journal. Published by W. M. Patton, 25 S. Sixth St., Philadelphia.

The Literary Digest is the title of a new weekly journal just begun by Funk & Wagnalls. It contains classified summaries of all important papers in European and American periodicals, classified comments on important current events taken from the daily and weekly press, book digests, index of current literature, and a monthly chronicle of public events.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, in his instalment of "Over the Teacups," in the Atlantic for April, discusses music, Egyptian and American works of art, realism in literature with special reference to Flaubert and Zola, and the greatest bibliographical event of the book market of the new world, the arrival of Mr. Bernard Quaritch, with his "collection of rare, beautiful, and somewhat expensive volumes."

[ocr errors]

THE New England Magazine for April will contain an article on Egypt at Home," a complete account of the Egyptian collection in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, by Rev. Dr. W. C. Winslow, Vice-President of the Egypt Exploration Fund. The number will also contain a fullpage portrait of Miss Edwards, from a recent photograph by Sarony, with an article upon her work by Mrs. Sallie Joy White, and several interesting fac-similes of passages from her letters and manuscripts.

Freeman's Illustrated Monthly Magazine (edited and published by O. S. Freeman, Passaic, N. J.), established in 1877, and now in its thirteenth volume, proposes to open its pages to contributions from the literary public, and calls upon its patrons to send in their manuscripts. Though published in Passaic, N. J., the Magazine finds its way far from its home and has found it necessary to establish a branch in London, England. The paper is readable and full of news on literature, music, society, and home inerestts.

JAMES RUNCIMAN has contributed a strong essay to the March issue of The Fortnightly Review, under the title "King Plagiarism and His Court," in which he asserts that popular authors writing under the pressure of successful publishers' demands have during the last dozen years become plagiarists; often in a cowardly, sometimes in a startingly bold manner. Among the authors specially mentioned are Rider Haggard, Mrs. Burnett, and Mr. Anstey. The writer is seemingly fair and makes a show of clinching his statements with proof.

NOTES ON CATALOGUES.

THE Channing Club, of Boston, has taken upon itself the task of examining books written for boys, and publishing annually for the use of parents and librarians, a classified, descriptive list of such as are approved. Their first catalogue, of publications of 1888, is now ready and can be obtained by sending a stamp to the Secretary, Mr. George Peirce, 70 Water Street, Boston. It is divided into three classes-one of interesting stories; one of works of history, biography, travel, science, etc.; and one of books which, through the moral principles taught, are especially suited for Sunday-schools. No book has been rejected because of doctrinal teaching, as the list is intended for all denominations, but

wherever such teaching is prominent the fact is noted. Besides the necessary items of publisher and price, each title is followed by a summary of the story, or a description of the scope of the work if in the second class, thereby enabling the reader to choose intelligently. (19 p. 24°.)
