Will the addition of five per nut. materially hurt the wile of that impression?—'Pleat is a thing ou which it is intima ,ible fur one to cive au opinion simply; of course it would he dillieult to add precisely five per cent. to the price of a hook, In-canoe there are rectilar prices; if • book was prier live guineas, 51. 10a.

Generally speaking, would the addition of five per cent. 1111 ass edition of 250 copies materially affect the sale?— It would be difficult to answer that question, because the inter of hooks is at peewit. generally complained of; y are very tench advanced a late years, and therefore we Silwaya apiwelintil, Isom the raising the price iu the least degree, some sholi.intion of .ale.

Independently sense price of materials, is not the present mode of prisitiug hooks muck more expensive than it was a few years ago ?—Yes. Of all s:esesiptions?-1 do not know, of all descriptions. Is that occasioned by your own taste, sir called for by the taste of the public'—We are always indurated by what we consider the taste 'attic public. if au addition of Gee per cent. he put urn, the price of books, would it not, upon the whole, discourage booksellers from making contracts with authors ?—lt *wild sometimes lute the scale.

Could you arid that pries to ■ll the work. you publish, without wijary to their ask ?--I cannot consider that that price can he added without injury, our could the price be traded iii all cases at sit. Could such a price be put upon an impression of 430, as would hring the profit of such small impressions out of pro portion to the profit nu • larger impression, that is, the profit, upon the same number?-1 should rather expect the profit to be less than the usual proportion of a larger im passion. Would not, therefoie, the taking away eleven copies bear a larger proportion to the deduction from the profit ?—The aleveu copies mould be a heavier deduction ou a small im pression than a large sow. The grievance of paying eleven conies is. in your opinion, heaviest upon the small inapressious?—Certainly. Upon au edition of a thousand copies it would be much liglitcr?—Tlie grievance would be hoarier on a smaller uuntla•r than a thousand, than it would upon a thousand. And the indemuilicatiou necessary to be added to the price could be more easily procured upon an impassion of a thousand copies than upou any smaller impression ?—lt would certainly be easier, inasmuch as it was less in pro portion to each copy. Would you, iu point of fact, upon a thousand or two thousand copies, think it policy to advance your price, if the obligation of depositing the stereo copies should be en furceil!— We should in 110 OUP advance the price of a book elutes' the neceseity of the case railed for it ; the prier of those eleven curies, with the •sldiliun of other collateral ex penses, would influence the raising the price of the book wlwn the value of the eleven copies could justify the raising of the price. . . . ur is mat, the present price of literary works complained of by the public and by literary amen ?—Certainly, it is very touch complained of., !Inns it, or dues it nut, in their opinion, affect lin ra tan:l 1w any opinion it trails to dim.uub the sale of Woks ; 1 am certain it does in the foreign market, iu a very great di pee.
