a contract between a publisher and an author
Of the present day is n wOndrous document,
covering as it does not merely arrangements

serial rights, rights of translation and goodness
knows what else. 1t is Il beautiful document,
over which the successful novelist may pardon
ably gloat. We would not ask him to sacrifice
a 1.-THE of his hard earned profits Except under
certain circumstances Serial rights" are gen
orally so profitable that an author takes it for
granted that they must he put in the contract
no matter what kind Of a story he may have
written. That way lies abundance of cash, no
doubt but also in that direction lies literary
disaster. Mr.. Joseph Conrad, for example, Is
of the strongest Of the new writer's. His
Lord Jim" promises to be equal TO any Of its
predecessors. But as it runs through the col
umnS Of "Maga" the effect Of serial publication
upon il is appalling. The beauty and power Of

unless the first part is read with it, This casts
no reflection on the readers memory II simply
means that 10 an author like Mr.. Conrad

how can they play their parts when the MARIA
tive 10 which they belong is broken into lengths
and published month by month? Serial rights
are precious, We admit. but there are times
when they seem curse.
