its character have laid special stress upon the claim
that in cheapenng books vastly it is against the
interests Of American authors The Revolution boldly
meets this assertion by statements follows: LIST.
That they are already paying to American authors
money than any other publishing house that is
less than twenty-five years established. I'd. That
American authors rarely receive from publishers a
copyright exceeding 10 PER cent upon the retail price
Of their books actually sold. Sd. That at least one
half and probably nearly three-fourths, Of the
books published by American authors have been pub
lished ut the authors expense, the publishers fur
nishing money, and paying no copyright, but
themselves receiving a large percentage upon sales
made. 18th. That they propose hereafter to pay to
American authors for acceptable manuscripts a
copyright of Is per cent instead Of 10 per cent and
they claim that their low prices, and immense sales

authors than much larger copyright on the COM
