Are there any fureiges works, which this delivery of I I colonel) will prevent being reprinted ?=fume u wetly foreign works, with respect to which it as a question, win titer they had better be imported front abroad or printed here : and I have no doubt, with respect to some of them, the geeing eleven ce.pies would operate in favour of inipurting them, to pi Milne them here. Cits you slate any of them ?—I hare been applied In in ►aspect arrow; there was Seldeustier's Lexietni of the New Testament ; flare wan au idea of printing it herr, but only ■ small edition of 250 copies; not more certainly ; it was found to be scarcely wroth while to print such nu r.iliuu ; and I have no doubt that the haying to give away eleven copies would add very mocha to the dieeouragenn nt obit there is from mewing it. I elm riot thiuk mute than 250 or 500 copies Collld he sold heir. Can you specify any works either in Natural History or Science, in v hitch this taking sway eleven copies would upc. rate in !hemmer way?—There are a great many oinks with respect to which the burden of publication falls on the whew beiniwlf, because the booksellers cannot be hollered 10 undertake them, as they do out hold out any proemet of prone and that elms of works is very large and a era, valuable class. Treatises very often upon some single point in any branches of science, which me not likely so have a great sale, the booksellers therefore ealolol he expected to take opoit themselves the expense of publishing, and the publication is tither p tell, ur they are published at the expense of the author; and I know very well, that very fre quently, those works du not pay their expenses; there are several instances of works of great ►eputation that have not paid the expeuse of printing, when printed at the expense of the authors: I remember, In paitienlar, Mr. Maishasn'a l'attomologia Britannies, and other works of science, did riot pay their expense. Hare you any experience that small additions in expense, do or do not prevent the pr tilting of works ; additions ■o small as the amouut of eleven copies ! I have no doubt t h e eleven copies would, with respect to the minting of many works, prevent their being undertaken at all. Do you know whether petioles to the derision of Ilse ease of fteckfurd v. Hood, its iIPS, it was niefleistowl that the booksellers had • copyright, unless their books were entered at Statisouers' 1141?-1 sin not a bookseller. Have you been applied In, to mint a work, in which a operated to prevent tow pulelicatiesit ?—Yes, there was an tostauce of that Leto! ; I was applied to, to give an estimate of the expense of pointing • work, for ulech ass author had got • small slumber of ►ub►criMrs, stud he ablielotied the nark fur clime tone on account of the MIS of W.; the expense of printing• and paper wits fol. more than he thought Ire ►ls n uhl eceeive. foe do sale of the work. Were yen applied to by a person to print • valuable work upon loads, wish l the expense deterred him from ?—Yes? I was applied to by a man in very low eircumstai r eee, for au estimate of a work of that kind, which I am p e r suaded would be very valuable, anal which he has been de terred from pulp fishing lay the espeuer ; but n few copies cou ld be ex p ected to be sold ; anal I Kaye no doubt, that t a king awayeleven copies might turn the scale, mid deter him frum pnblishing: in a very great number of works, the discouragenieuts are •Irerialy so very great, that any thing added to them will prevent the publication of such works altogether. Cuinmittec—Har you consider the loss of eleven copies to the publisher, as any thing more than the loss of the pritat ing and paper ?—1 sus apeaking of works printed by the Author, who perhaps is in low circumstances. 1)o you consider the hiss of the eleven copies any thing swuew than the loss of the printing soil paper'-1 think the loss is the loss of the selling price; if lie prints a certain edition, be loses all he could have sold those eleven copies fur; and if you take it only at the cost of printing and pa per, that is very considerable. In the estimates that you have seen, as to e x p ense of works, before it is determined whether public a t ion shall lake place or not, dues it not happen, that after estimating the number of copies, that there is a high 'Probability they will be sold, the person who is nbout the undertaking, also takes into account the value of the remainder, to be turned into property, at a less advantage than those looked upon as capable of immediate sale'—Certainly. ha forming pert of the counterbalance to the expense?— Certainly; the author or publisher always hopes to make something of the remainder. Would nut then the subtraction of eleven copies of those that so remain operate upon his mind in deterenini r g the undertaking ?-ICertainly ; and very often it happens, that after a work has had a very slow sale for a somber of yeses, it comes into notice, sod the remainder, which has lain by for a considerable time, will then sell and fetch the fia!l hurler, and sometimes much more, so that after having bee n • liner fur years, he is reimbursed, by having this properly to bring to market ; whereas if eleven copier had been taken out of that rernainder,he would have lust to that extent. Would out he print Inure maples, in emiteinplation of having to deliver three eleven ?—lf he did, he would add to his expense ; rind it'll leappetes in the case of a person of very little property, it makes him glee up the design of printing. Mr. Turner—Would the delivery operate to prevent rot from reprinting your ancestor's Hebrew Coneurdance?- 1 have entertained such a scheme. I know very well, that the KIII k just cleared 116 expenses to the author, though it now sells fur Dille or ten goineas a copy; it was the work of fifteen yea's, and just paid the expense of paper and paid ; I have had some idea of reprinting it, but the delivery has deterred me, being aware that only. small number would sell. Committee—How mealy copies would you expect to sell? From 230 to 500. Would an addition of price of two and a qoarter per cent. on 130 copies, or one and a quarter per cent. on SOO copies, discourage the sale of * winkle like the Hebrew Con cordisaice?—lf I undertook it, I should conceive it quite just 1 should receive the hizhest prier it would sell fur. Woahl an addition of price of two and r loader per rent. on 250 copies, or one and n quarter per cent.

Would the addition of sixpence in the pound discourage the publication of any work a hateeer ?—Every increase of price must operate to present the sale; my opinion is, that it certainly would, hut in a smaller degree than a larger ad ditior.
