wonld he about 3111.

In my estimate for the Rao. I ealenlated for Ike MOll com-
mon mode of priutiag and 11w moat expensive.
Then you had better give us the price of the 410. in the
same way. You did not print 41oa. in the must common
mode --Soniestints ; but the 4toa. are most woolly printed
in the most expensive way. I should estimate the price of
pima-work and paper fur eleven copies of a 41u. volume at
from 201. lis
Of your knowledge, has any contract between a man of
science and a publisher ever heels stopped or broken off firm
the mat, of science or the publisher objecting to this de-
livery of the eleven copies ; yon will reeollect. that you are
to speak of your own knowledge ?—I do not recollect,*that I
ran positively state of my own knowledge, that any ow-
gociat• of that sort hail tress broken off upon that ground
alone; but I know a great many instances of valuable works
which have been offer, d to the publishers, 1111111 which they
have declined lertakiug, from a persuasion that the sale
would not repay the expellee of publication. Now, in a
ease where a probable sale most tie only 100 or *OO copies,
it is quite evident that the loss of eleven copies must turn
the scale in expeusive works.
What description of books do you apprehend to be prin-
cipally affected by the delivery of the eleven copies to the
public libraries? Slate the different kinds of books that you
think are most affected by Ibis think that ell the
most important works which (stealth the materials for the
advancement of the sciences are those by which the least is
Limed, or I should say, radwrthe most is lost, by these who
undertake ilsem,such as records of experiments in Chemistry
and other branches of Physics, Astronomical Observations.
Such works as Bradley's Observations and Dr. Maskelyot's,
if they had been published at private expense, most have
!wen published at a boss; because the demand for them
is very limited, sod the expense of printing would
be way great. Bradley's Astronomical Observations are
published in two volumes folio, and Doctor Masks..
in font or five volumes. I should ohs , that all
table and figure-work costs twire as much as common print-
ing, on account of the water trouble in composing such
work. Such works as throe furnish all the materials from
which the science of astronomy can be advanced. All these
works are of infinite value in science, sad cost the authors
au immense deal of labour, as they are frequently the retolt
of their observations dueling a great portion of their lives.
Elementary or popular works of Astronemy may be objects
of gain to dee booksellers; bat no bookseller could be iu-
duced to publish the autonomies! observations of say gen.
ileums who might have an observatory of his own, and who
might have been making olownrations for many yearn. Of
Mathematical works, the most prolong-id are the least likely
to attain a considerable sale. A Gentleman whom I have
known fur many years seem of the most munificent patriots
of science, who hiss expended perhaps, more than any man
in puhlishiug and enabling others 10 publish valuable Ma.
theniatical Treatises, I mean Baron Maseres, the Corsitor
11.1fUll of the Exchequer, once told me, that the produce of
the whole sale of his Scriptores Loprithmies (which is •
collection of the most valuable Mathematical Tracts, re-
printed at his expense), did not pay fur the binding of the
presentation c01a.., which he gave away.
That was a two guinea book?-1 do not recollect the
price ; there are several volumes in quarto. Such a book
also as Taylor's Logarithnis, which is a five guinea hook,
mid which no public libi any could well he without, I under-
stand has never paid the expense of printing.
Would not the public libraries be Ilse subscribers upon
wh you would must naturally depend, if the Art of 11114
had out passed !—Certainly, works of that kind, and such
other works as 1 have mentioned, must depend principally
upon the public libaries for their sale.
Had you not an ancestor eminent for Biblical learning'—
Dr. Jam Taylor, author of the Hebrew Concordance, and I
was about so mention, with the leave of the Committee,
that to that work, which I believe was published about 1760,
ahnost all these Orreries subscribed. I see among the
lest of subscrilmrs for that work, the College of Christ
Church, Oxford; Exeter College; Coins College; St.
John's College; the University Libuary; St. Peters;
Queen's; Corpus Christi, and Trinity. The Very Reve-
rend the Principal of the University of Edinburgh ; the
Iliirsar of Trinity College, Dohliu, and the University of
Glasgow, whu subscrilwil to it for the use of their li.
In-grim The University of Glasgow not only did nut
take a copy of his hook without paymeid, but also snit him
the degree of Dr. of Divinity, by the hands of the Divinity
Professor, who was going to F.uglond.
Do you thick that the knowledge on the part of the pub-
lic libraries of the different Colleges of Cambridge and Ox-
ford, that each of them are entitled to a copy of testy work ;
and that, therefore, such works must appear as soon as
publish, has a 11PlellrV in the first instance to prevent
she libraries in private tolls's. s from purchasing these works,
blowing that they would he deposited its the University li-
hrsiy by the compulsory operation (011ie law ?-1 think ilium

was the case of some tables for determining the value of

to make it wiirh while. It woul I have made two quarto
volumes of table stork, which as very 'emotive work, as
I have eibtaity mentioned. It was a work to which be
