author and authorized publisher, and as many of
the ten commandments as may be supposed to
touch his If this be not good law, it is at any
rate, according to Lord Desart, the opinion of
good lawyer
The nobleman in whose company we are privileged
TO discuss this matter is the editor of what is per-
haps the most acrimonious paper published in Eng
aand-Vmity Fair. 1t would be odd if he did not
manage to import some of the bitterness OF that
print into his letter copyright, which ruines inc
feathers of sweeter-natured men than Lord Desart.
Miss Edwards, he tells us, has missed one
of the greatest grievances OF English authors.
1t is one of the greatest grievances OF
English authors that Mr. Henry James "pub-
fishes his works over here and protects them in
his own country while being protected in England
by our laws" Lord Desart doubtless means Mr..
Henry James, jr., but so great nObleman cannot
be expected to be exact in little matter as the
distinction between the father who is not novelist
and the who is. L am sure Mr.. Henry James, jr,
whose affection for England is as undenable his
popularity in England will be distressed to learn
that his method of publishing his novels constitutes
of the greatest grievances of English authors.
1T is little difficult to what injury he does
them. The fact that his books are copyrighted in
England does not, suppose, increase their crcula-
ton lessen the circulation of other books. In
far as he spoils anybodys market, the mischief he
does has nothing to do with copyright Even Lord
sentence and say what he really meant, would not
have made his accusation so personal and so bur-
densome to poor Mr. James individually. Lord
Desart intended to say that the state of the
law under which such an advantage is
possible to Mr.. James living in England, and not
possible to an English author living, not living
an America, is grievance. That is proposition
from which nobody but publisher would dissent
1t may crafty Lord Desart to know that even in
these exceptional circumstances the English pub
Usher has, in or two instances, found means to
turn these circumstances to his profit. But that
rs a subject too delicate for publicity. 1t is well
understood that publisher, whether English or
American, is entitled to deal he pleases with
authors, and to be exempt from all criticism in re-
Spect of such dealings
( 1 read in my last society paper that DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes has just written poem of some
length in the wellknown style of the "Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table" And yet they say American
literature is not Z" well known" to the Briton.
