On the 29th OF March Last the copyright Of
Keble's famous Christian Year expired, and
within the five weeks following no less than ten
different editions appeared from those London
publishing houses who concern themselvsa
chiefly with expiring copyrights. OF course
these reprints are not from tho authors latest
and most improved copies, but have been taken
from the frat editions issued by the Messrs+
Parker, at Oxford, in 1927, and it Is .
curious fact that, but for careful FAC
simile reprint which the Oxford publishera
recently issued as literary curiosity, 1t
is very doubtful il even one OF the ten un-
authorized reprints could have appeared, for
the genuine original, in two volumes, is among
the Iarest Of modern books-almost as much
