On apparently good authority 1859 books
were published in 1890 in the United States and
5,7S5 in Great Britain OF these. $3.50 and
4,4l4 were new works. The republic stands
well in the comparison with its mother. In
this country the increase over the previous
year Was 5i5 in the total number published: in
Great Britain the decrease since 1899 was 332
And there has been q steady decline in that
country for three years. The effect of the
International copyright law will be probably

pared with the United States OF new novels

than the former. Thus even without copy
right We are leading the old country in the i'm
portant article Of fresh fiction. How much
greater will be the disparity of production be-
tween the daughter and mother when the
operation Of the new law becomes apparent.
