PATTEN, of State Street, Boston, is the American Banker" whose England was recently published by D. Lothrop & Co. THE Boston Traveller claims to have guessed correctly that Mrs. Ellen Olney Kirke is the author of "The Story of Margaret Kent," and that Margaret Kent is the late Mrs. Kate McDowell (Sherwood Bonner). MR. FLEAY is writing "The True History of the Life and Death of William Shakespeare, Player, Poet and Play-maker." The bookwhich will be embellished with three etchingswill be published in March. 66 views of the list submitted by Sir John Lubbock. He returns the list with many names crossed off lightly and others crossed with heavy lines. Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Sophocles, Gibbon, Hume, Voltaire, Darwin, Longfellow, Thackeray, George Eliot and Goethe are among those whom he would banish from such a list. Opposite Plato's name he writes "all," meaning that all of Plato should be included. Opposite Carlyle's he writes everything," and opposite Scott, in heavy lines, "every word." GEORGE STRONACH, a young Scotchman, it appears, is the author of a series of the most noted political "squibs" recently published in England. These successful brochures (published anonymously by Messrs. Blackwood) include The Lake Library.-George A. Leavitt & Co., N. Y. the Gladstone A.B.C. ;""New Gleanings from Gladstone;" 46 More Gleanings from Gladstone," and "The Liberal Mis-Leaders." These four works, recently published in a collected form with the title, Gladstone & Co., show on the part of the author keen wit, acute observation, and considerable knowledge of the ludicrous and humorous in human nature. He has also written "The Gladstone Almanack, 1885;" "The Egyptian Red-Book,' and " Α Diary of the Gladstone Government,' all of which were published anonymously, and had the same success as those mentioned above. - Law library.-George A.

THE COPYRIGHT OUTLOOK. THE literature of the copyright discussion is accumulating so rapidly that to attempt to reprint the current week's supply in our columns would require a good-sized magazine. The most noteworthy contribution is the "symposium," in the February Century, of two score or more American authors, duplicating to some extent the opinions already called forth by the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, but of much new interest and value. At the head is printed in fac-simile an epigram by Mr. Lowell: "In vain we call old notions fudge, And bend our conscience to our dealing: The ten commandments will not budge, And stealing will continue stealing." The series is doubly a symposium, for all the contributors think together. The subject is attracting much attention in the literary and religious weeklies, and most of the daily papers have treated it editorially. Most of the articles printed have been strongly in favor of an international copyright law; one in the New York Times has been taken as raising objections to, rather than promoting the pending measures. A previous contribution to that paper, by an outside writer, (which we do give elsewhere, since it covers a new suggestion,) proposes a royalty system and the use of stamps for pay ments. This has aroused interest as a curiosity rather than as a practical suggestion, but it may be asked, in case a paternal government is to take this matter in hand, how it is to divide the stamp tax among the authors interested. The result of the hearings at Washington seems to be that the Chace bil! has the right of way, and is in a fair way, possibly with some modifications, to be reported favorably by the Committee. It would not be correct to state that this very restrictive measure represents the views of the publishing trade in general. The clause prohibiting importation, in especial, is much objected to, and permission to import on the written authority of the holders of the copyright here would meet many views. But, as Mr. Estes says, any bill is better than no bill," and an approach to justice is better than no justice at all. The adhesion of the Typographical Union to the Chace bill is a decided gain for international copyright, and the position taken by the labor organizations in general gives an element of success no previous measure has enjoyed. WASHINGTON NOTES: THE SECOND COPYRIGHT HEARING. WASHINGTON, 30 Jan., 1886. THE announcement in London, for instance, that James Russell Lowell would be heard on any day on any subject, would have drawn together many more people than gathered in the Senate Committee-room at Washington on the second day of the copyright hearing. There was no throng at the announced hour of meeting, though during the hearing the room filled till a number were standing. Mr. James Lowndes, Washington counsel for the Copyright League, presented a petition of the Music Teachers' Association of Rhode Island, numbering fifteen hundred persons, many of them authors of music, in favor of the Hawley bill. They were similarly placed, said Mr. Lowndes, with authors, but still more deeply interested, since music is a universal language and all countries compete with them. Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, of Boston, who appeared for Harper & Brothers at the hearing before the Morrill Committee in 1873, but now spoke only as one who had become personally interested as a student of the subject, presented the only argument of the entire hearing against international copyright. Mr. Hubbard urged that when an author gives up possession of his manuscript his ideas become the property of the world. Copyright is a modern thing, first granted for the benefit of publishers; American copyright differs from English copyright in granting the privilege for the benefit of the pub |
