LITERARY PROPERTY.

The last number of the Phrenological Journal con-
tains the following letter from Mr. Combe, " On the
Law of Copyright," which places the subject in a new
light:— _ _

" Sir,--During the whole period of the recent con-
troversy regarding the amendment of the law of copy-
right, I preserved silence, being aware of the ten-
dency of self-interest to bias the judgment; but now,
when the question is settled, and is not likely to be
revived during the lives of the existing generation of
authors, I am desirous of placing on record the views
which occurred to me on the subject, and which are
in some respects different from any which I saw stated
by the learned and able writers who took part in
the discussion. As the result at which J have arrived
seem to be directly, and, I hope, logically deducible
from the principles of phrenology, they may, perhaps,
not inappropriately find a place in your pages.
" With the view of avoiding details, which now
possess no interest, I shall proceed at once to the
main point in dispute between authors and the
public. The former claimed a perpetual property in
their works ; while the advocates of limited copyright
opposed their demand, as unfounded in justice,
and detrimental to the public interests. The oppo-
sition was maintained chiefly on two grounds, via., Ist,
That property is the creature of the law ; that authors,
therefore, have no inherent right of property in their
works; ant that any extent of exclusive privilege of
publication conferred on them by the Legislature is a
boon fur which they should be grateful, but which
they had no right to demand ; and, 2dly, That the
public interests require that a limit should be set to
copyright, otherwise authors, or their representatives,
might capriciously withdraw the most valuable and
useful works from the circulation, or sell them at a
price so extravagantly high that only the affluent
could procure them.
" The first argument, that authors have no inhe-
rent right of property in their works, appears to have
been drawn from an opinion of Bentham, expressed in
his Theory of Legislation. Property and laws,'
says he, are born together, and die together.
Before laws were made there was no property :
take away laws, and property ceases.' Phrenologi-
cally and philosophically, this dictum will not stand
investigation. the organ and faculty of acquisitive-
ness are inherent not only in man, but in many of the
lower animals, and give rise in both to an instinctive
sense of property. Lord Kaimes justly remarks that
man is a hoarding animal, having an appetite for
storing up things of use ; and Chancellor Kent, of the
State of New York, says that the sense of property is
inherent in the human breast, and the gradual enlarge-
ment and cultivation of that sense, from its feeble
form in the savage state to its full vigour and maturity
among polished nations, forms a very instructive
portion in the history of human society.' (Kent's
Commentaries, ii., 318.) I need not enlarge on this
proposition, because it is admitted by phrenologists in
general, and is, besides, placed in the clearest light,
and very ably supported, in Mr. Hurlbut's excellent
lecture on the Right and Moral Relations of Pro-
perty,' published in vol. xv., p. 97, of your journal, to
which I beg leave to refer.
"Co-existent with this sense of property, we find
in man organs of conscientiousness, benevolence, and
intellect, and the corresponding mental powers, evi-
dently intended to serve as guides to his general con-
duct, and, consequently, to the proper exercise of his
acquisitive propensity. Human laws are, or, at least,
ought to be, simply transcripts of the dictates of the
latter faculties, enlightened by knowledge and expe-
rience- Laws may regulate, but cannot confer, any
just rights. They may legitimately expound, define,
and protect them ; but the moment human legislators
assume the power of creating rights which nature
has not previously bestowed, they commit injustice,
and prepare the way for the introduction into society
of insecurity and suffering.
" Mr. Locke observes, that the labor of a man's
body and the work of his hands are properly his ;' and
it seems no undue stretch of the proposition to affirm
that equally should the labour of his brain, embo lied
by the work of his hands, be his. The man who
procures from nature, or obtains by purchase, certain
raw materials, and by his own labour and ingenuity
works them up into a machine or piece of furniture,
is recognised by all civilised nations as the exclusive
proprietor, in perpetuity, of the article produced ;
and I am at a loss to discover on what principle it
can be maintained that an individual, who, from ori-
ginal invention, or the current science and literature
of his age, composes a book, should not possess the
exclusive right, in perpetuity, to this product also of
his labour.and ingenuity.
" But it is agreed in the
"Second place, that the public interests require that
limits should be set to copyrights, otherwise authors
or their representatives might capriciously withdraw
valuable works from circulation, and thereby retard
the progress of pociety in virtue and civilisation. It

is a very ancient and a very sound maxim, that
nungwan aliud natura, aliud supienta dicit in other
words, nature is so constituted that it is never neces-
sary to rob an individual of his just rights, in order
to promote the real advantage of society. The rights
tht! one, and the interests of the other, are in all
cases compatible ; bccatts. the same great Being who
laid the foundation of society in the nature of man,
also conferred on the individual his rights; and He is
too wise and powerful to have rendered the two con-
flicting. A few elucidations will, I hope, show that
the csse of copyright forms no exception to this
general rule.
"Books may consist, Ist, Of new ideas never be-
fore published to the world; 2dly, Of the science and
literature of past and present ages, mixed up with
the fA4t h or's own observations and reflections; or,
idly, Of the expressions of fancies, emotions, and
passions, common to the human race, but invested
with a peculiar charm by the author from the man-
ner in which he embodies them. Newton's Principia,
Ilarvey's work on the Circulation of the Blood, and
Sir Charles Bell's Dissertations on the Functions of
the Spinal Nerves, all of which communicated dis-
coveries, may be selected as a specimen of the first
class ; Dr. Neil Arnott's Elements of Physics, of the
second; and Campbell's Pleasures of Hope, of third.
I aslc, then, what does a perpetual copyright in such
works imply ? Not an exclusive proprietorship in
the ideas and reflections, in the fancies, passions, or
emotions, embodied in them ; but simply in the
author's peculiar mode of expressing them—in that
combination of words which he employs in order to
convey them to the world. The ioe",:s themselves,
with all their consequences and applicatiosh; are left
free as air to the public, although the ssopyright
the work in which they are embodied be preserved
inviolate to the author and his heirs. In our own

day, Sir Charles Bell's discovery of the nerves of
motion and feeling is transferred to every systematic
work on physiology in Europe and America, although
the copyright of the special essays in which he an-
nounced it still belongs to his representatives.
" In regard to this class of works, then, there is no
reason for maintaining that the public interests
require that the discoverer's copyright should be
limited.

" In regard to the second class of books, I trust
that I do no injustice to Dr. Arnott in saying, that
all the principles of science which enter into his
treatise, pre-existed in the works of his predecessors,
and that the peculiar merit of his compositito, in
my opinion, consists in the clear arrangement and
perspicuity of elucidation of his propositions. If a
perpetual copyright were granted to Dr. Arnott, it
is clear that the whole principles, or, in other words,
the entire raw material of the work, would be left as
free to the public as they were before he wrote. The
only thing of which it would then be in his power to
deprive them, would be the advantage of that curiosa
felicitas docendi, in which his peculiar merit consists.
But the talents which produced those results were
conferred on him, as an individual, by the Creator,
when He gave him a peculiar conformation of brain,
and a temperament characterised by fineness and
activity; and it is difficult to discover on what
principles of justice society can consistently deprive
him of the advantages of that gift, or limit his en-
joyment of it, while they respect the right of
property in perpetuity in tables and chairs, made by
the hands of far less talented and less accomplished
men.

" It is argued, however, that were the law . to
recognise a perpetual copyright in this work, Dr.
Arnott, or his heirs, might capriciously deprive the
public of the instruction it contains. In so far as re-
gards the author himself, nature has given a pretty
effective guarantee against such an unreasonable
course of conduct; because a brain in which the
organs of benevolence, conscientiousness, love of ap-
probation, and reflection, were so deficient as to render
the individual capable of acting in such a manner,
ceuld not compose such a work. It is an extreme
supposition that his heir or assigns might be so in-
fatuated—it is supposing them to be insane, and,
nevertheless, at large ; but as such an occurrence
might happen, I shall, for the present, assume that it
actually does present itself, and inquire into the means
which nature has provided for the protection of the
public interests in such an emergency. They are
simple.
" The ideas contained in the work are public pro-
perty; and all that is wanted is a re-expression of
them in such a form as may supply the void occasioned
by the withdrawal of Dr. Arnott's treatise. The
power of composition depends on temperament and
cerebral development, and nature has not confined
those gifts to Dr. Arnott. She has ushered into the
world other brains and temperaments capable of
running the race in which Dr. Arnott has conquered;
and if his work were withdrawn, and the public
needed his ideas, other individuals would speedily
appear to supply the desired information. In point of
fact, every author on science knows and feels that he
holds his place only until an abler brain appears to
wrest the laurels from his brow, and the bread from
his mouth. He stands in a situation similar to that
of the champion of England in the barbarous age of
pugilistic combats. From the first hour of his pub-
lication to the last day of his fame, he is exposed to
the challenge of every rival who chooses to enter
the field with a view to occupy' his place ; and as
the public never fails, sooner or later, to award the
prize to the highest merit, he holds his supremacy
only while . he is able to distance every competitor.
The law which limits his copyright may despoil him
of his bread, before such a rival has appeared. It
may wrest from him and deliver over to men of infe-
rior capacity, the profits of his genius, at the very
time when these men acknowledge that they cannot,
by the exercise of their own powers, rival him in the
career of public usefulness. If they could do so,
there would be no need of infringing his rights ; for
the publication of a treatise of higher merit would
extinguish his work, and bring it to an end by natu-
ral dissolution. Even assuming that it might be cen-
turies before a writer appeared capable of producing
such a clear, eloquent, and instructive elucidation of
the principles of mechanical science as the work in
question, this would only present stronger motives to
Dr. Arnott's representatives to enlarge its circula-
tion ; but if they were so insane as not to do so, the
inherent rights of all authors should not be violated
because the representatives of one happened to be mad.
" This argument applies to works of every kind,
the substance of which consists of useful and practical
ideas. The law which regulates patents for mecha-
nical inventions denies to ail individuals the exclusive
use of principles ; and, in like manner, no author
claims, or can justly pretend to, an exclusive right to
particular ideas, facts, notions, or scientific postulates
or inductions. All that he contends for is the right
of property in his own special combinations of the
elements of thought—leaving to all the world the free
privilege of making similar, or better combinations of
them, at their own discretion, and to the buyers the
right of preferring the works which they find to be
most instructive.
" The third class of publications embraces novels
and poetry ; in short, all works of fiction and fancy.
What would a perpetual copyright of such works
imply ? It would confer no exclusive property in the
emotions, incidents, and ideas, which form their sub-
stance; but solely in the special combination of the
words by which they are expressed. On one occasion
Mrs. Siddons happened to read one of the sulyhmest
passages of Shakspeare in the presence of the late Mr.
Sotheby, the translator of Oberon and other wcrks.
When she paused, he exclaimed Fine words! Gramd
words!' and, after a few moments, added Now, these
words would not have occurred to me !' This remark
renders the thing which would be covered by the
copyright of such works as clear as the noonday sun.
It would be, as in the other instances already cited,
only the special combination of words by means of
which the ideas and emotions are expressed; and the
power of making this combination is a gift so pecu-
liarly individual that no species of property. can
surpass it in sacredness. It depends on a particular
size and combination of cerebral organs, and a par-
ticular temperament, which impart strength, fire, re-
finement, and sublimity, to the products of the pen.
If man can be said to create anything, it is such works
as those of Shakspeare, Milton, Byron, Scott, and
Campbell. These are pure luxuries to the public ;
they cannot justly he viewed as articles of necessity,
because the ideas and sentiments contained in them
may all be applied to general use. It is only the
magnificent forms in which the inspired sons of genius
have embodied them that are claimed 11: sacred and
it appears to me to be a mere wanton e; ercise of
power in the public to appropriate these, while a "-
presentative of the author is to be found alive on earth.
The first and grand motive to the composition of
such works is the conscious delight of creating them ;
the second, the love of fame ; the third, the hope of
doing good, directly or indirectly ; and the last and
least, the expectation of pecuniary profit. Every
age produces its own sons of genius ; and if, by such
incredible suppositions as I have already allowed, the
representations of a Shakspeare or a Milton were to
step the sale of their works, no substantial interest
of the public would suffer; for, even could the copies
already issued be recalled, new minstrels would arise,
who, writing under the same inspirations, and guided
by the lights of science and of a more advanced phi-
losophy, would, in all probability, sing new songs of
emotion and fancy, not inferior to those of their pre-
decessors in fire, energy, and refinement, vhile they
might surpass them in purity, truth, and' all the
grander elements of thought.
" With all deference, therefore, to the able indi-
viduals who have controverted the title of author s to
a copyright in perpetuity, it appears to me that jus-
tice supports their claim, and that the interest: of
society are not exposed to the least danger in grant-
ing it —I am, &c. " GEO. COMM "
