facts, chief among which is the need for cheaper
books. This need, he points ont. may be met IN
England as it has been met III FRANCE
without les to either author or pup
Usher The same need is felt more strongly
in America and the desire for cheap BOOKS having
been heretofore gratiieds not now to be comoated'
MrArnold does not wish to combat II. lie ASKS:
lis there any chance of the Americans, accustomed
TO cheap English books, submitting to the dearhesS
of English books which is brought about Ill
England by what in spite of my attachment 10 GER
tam English publishers, must call our hlghiy eccen
trio. artificial and unsatisfactory system of book
tradef confess ! see no chance of 1t whatever
Here. therefore. Mr. Arnold is at one with Mr..
Conant; with the publishers and printers of Amer
lea: as am also. if that matters He approves the
PROPOSAL that an English authors book to be pro-
tected in America. must be manufactured
and published in America. The Americans
ought nos to submit to our system OF
dear books; | am they will not, and as lover
of civilization, should be sorry, though am an
author, if they did" | must stop to say
that Mr.. Arnold, urgently as he pleads Tor
cheap books. pleads not less urgently tha'
cheapness is consistent with comeness. lie
protests heartily against "a cheap literature hdcons
and ignobe of aspect, like the tawdry novels
which flare on the bOOkshelves of our railway
stations" This, too is point on which much
might be SAID. and much needs saying, TO
American publishers also. They have lately
made books both dear and ugly while
the cheap literature" is only too "ienobe
of aspect there as here. But it is enough
for the moment to insist that books need
not be dearer on account of interna-
tional copyright, and that voice so
authoritative as Mr. AnOlds advocates copyright
which Will leave the question of dearness or cheap
ness as it is left now in the hands of the American
publisher G. W. s.
