Sir E. BR'Y'DPVS it1)(1 Sir J,AI,Ii7TOSII proposed
aniendtnents ; but 'the SpENKF:tt vvas of Opinion
`that they must be ntrOduded in a futhre "stage.
'Mr; AV D u t•J DAS, Mr. .1. P. GIiANT-„and Mr.
''S'Nririlit3 of Cambritfge) delivered

inents.
Mr.-/NlT'Ome bald', 'that no advantage accrued to
authors from the !kw as it at present stood. It
had been said, that books became known from
copes of them being sent to the Libraries of the
. Universities. Upon the same princHe, they
shiuld be 'sent to the circulating libra ies.
would .be 'better NI grant qt sum of nion'ey tO the
Universities for purchasing books, than to lay
such 'an -.expellee • upon attiors. . lie hoped the
present Bill was preparatory to a. future measure
on the subject.
Mr. CiamY concurred' with the last speaker .5
Mr. W. S.:,,trrif had hoped that the Universities
would have come torwarti npon this Occasion, and
renounced their right. The reports of the late •
Mr.•Sineaton were sold for seven guineas and an
half, and the sending eleven copies to the Ifni'versitic;s would be a loss to his heirs of 8 guineas
and an half. It was to he wished that at the end
of 'each year the Universities would state what
books they desired tojive, and that they should
be purchased • at • the public expence,
books were inrproper .t4-,be deposited in the Li-
braries of Universities.
I-lOnNeft was of opinion, that.wltbout the
institation at pubtic:libraries, authors AvOuld hare
'very liaiited means for prosecutih4 their literary
re.,:earches ; And this a kant:ige more doll' counter-
halance4,the expenee of furnishing a cellain ;tom- .
her, of copies. At lousent,. :mac

their literary contents ; and they were in6re re-
garded qs article-of furniture than for their t,-
trinsie vlbte. The w9tks of

simple unadorned state, tnip,ht be bott,2,,it; for.
were now, by including-a Do!uher of jl-
venile pieces, Whi,7l‘, )oc;, and his.
Editor Aason, had ;torer r..nubhshed, sold,ar the
price of 7•guineas. It wits stn Opropriwe
mean for the publlshers of works' of scclr useless
splendour to he obliged to send copies to t;,e
itersities.; In Edinburh, both the University
4rary:„and tivnt of the Facut!ty of'Advocats, ; ere
of much utility front the factiqy or access that was
afforded .; butt in the Universiry Library, Without-

the benefit .4 the Stottite of Queen Ati‘!t!, scarcely
ont'-tenth of die books now in it enuld have been
tollected, 'as the bintilbutions from die students
were .so extremely slender. This privilege Was
necessary to both the Libraries.

. Mr. Mißsu coviplained that one of the clauses
in the Bill had been rejected in the Committee
without sufficient cause. It' was one of those
which gave relief to booksellers, and whiCh had
been one of the ground's on. which the Y,ill li:u1
been brought 'in. ' opposition to theTion. Gen-
tleman who !yoke last, he spoke strongly against
the privileges continued to Universities by 'this

. Mr. efitKER took a similar view of the subject
• with Mr. Horner, and-contended, that Illudt ad-
vantage was arrived' from the mass of infor.niation
upon every ....object collected in
.a Public Library.
lie had lately a conversation upon this subject
with an author of /..,:reat eminence, whose ••sork.
sold at. from 13 to 20 guineas, who had said to
hint that the price of the copies given to the Uuk
yersities was paid for by the' public, and conid
not be said to come' out of the pocket of the-au-
thor, and that circumstance- was'always regarded.
in fixir.g t!.e price. He. objected to ne Univer-
•shies buying works out of a fund. They were
already oliliged to buy manyforeiyi books.• Dub-
lin University purchased the Fagel Library,' and
'added it to their magnificent collection. • • •';
Mr. MARSH explained. Tile Srotute itc had ah
haled to was of
.1622, shortly after the Restora-
tion, and was passed'with. a view of restrainipg
the Liberty of the Press, in a time one neetl'uot
be proud of.
Sir B. iInYDOCS sndke for, some time: lie
thotteht that the claim was On conditions respect-
; where Copyright did not ex-;
ist; he did not exactly sec its. proprety. -He
'wished the subject to be re-considered on a future
day:
Mr. SINIINT explained.
The Amendineirt was agreed, to, anti the Bill
ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. . •

Mr. 111.tasn presented a Petition from a Mr.,
Fi,sber, stating his lahoids making- drawidgs. of

which Lord Orford thought no such things existed
in this country. •
