A Famous Book S Fortunes


Every body is familiar with the
stories of how celebrated works were
rejected by publisher after publisher,
before finally finding their way to the
public eye. The latest of these to CON e
to our attention is Professor DRUM
mOnd's Natural Law in the Spiritual
World" The story is thus told blythe
Academy"
The addresses which are contained
in the hook originally appeared in
"The Clerical World,' a short-Ived
weekly twO-psnny paper. After beiug
refused in q cole cted form by at least
two Loodon publishers, the papers
were la aside and forgotten, till Mr..
M. II. Holder, who had read the art
icles in serial form, happening to meet
Prof. Drummond one day in Paternos-
ter row, suggested that his firm
should publish the book. The ffe + was
accepted,
Prof DrummOnd re-wrOte many Of
the chapters, and hal just time to cor
rect the proofs before he started on
his expedition to East Central Africa.
The first edition of 1000 copies was
printed in April, 1883 AT first it fail
ed to attract much attention, aud a
second edition was not called fer until
the middle of July. On August 4th, a
review appeared in 1.-The Spectator ~
which was unquestionably the making
OF the book, and the sales went up by
leaps and bounds. In March, 1887, a
cheaper edition appeared, after 81, 900
copies of the Is. Cd edition had been
sold. The current edition bears on the
title page the words: "Thirty-second
edition, completing 10000
