Thus publishers were unnecessarily taxed, and when the very high price of some works was considered, the amount of this taxation might be easily appreciated. The Hon. Member concluded with expressing a hope that the discussion of this measure would lead to the adoption of some plan next Session, which should be more conducive to the advantage of the ! Universities, and to the general interests of science and literature, than any Bill of this nature was ever likely to do. Mr. D. GIDDY expressed his entire concurrence in the general observations of the Learned Gentle man, particularly in the wish and hope, that in the next Session some pecuniary provision would be made from the public purse, to supply 014' public li braries with new books,•and thus to relieve the book. sellers from the hardships of which they complained. Mr. %V. SMITH thought the Universities ought to relinquish the petty advantage which the clause' under discussion proposed to secure to them, for it was comparatively of little value to them, while by levying a tax upon publishers, it was too likely to form a serious impediment to the promulgation of knowledge. He happened to belong to a Society, which subscribed to procure the pitislication orthe! tury,valuable productions of Mr. Smeaton, the cele brated engineer, and it was found that the bookseller could net sell a copy at less than seven guineas and a' half. Now he submitted to the candid consideration of the House, whether 11 copies of such a work did uniform rather too serious a deduction from the profits of those for whose immediate benefit the work *as published ; and also, whether such a deduction we) not peculiarly calculated to impede the progress of knowledge? Such a tax upon literary inch:stilt would not, he hoped, be allowed to survive the next Sea. sign, for its existence was evidently onerous upon publishers, while it was really degrading to the par. ties benefited by it, and materially injurious ,to the interests of the public. Mr, HORNER thought that a very limited view, had been taken of the advantage resulting from the grants to Universities, which formed ,the subject of discuasisse- Fur through these genets, With the supply of books which the several public libraries 'assessed, authors of every class were enabled to find at such libraries all the materials of knowledge. Thus the interests of litereture were promoted, and authors derived from the public libraries a degree of advantage which much more than counterbalanced any diminution of profit they might 'Attain by supplying 4eck with: journed.
