ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT

When The Spanish American war was begun
there was a natural disposition on the part or
many observers to wonder what the event
would contribute to literature. That we should
have masses Of descriptive writing in period
icals and in books the first prophecy, and
of course it was fulfilled. The histories which
the public WAS sure TO lemand are even now
issuing from the press. But the most exciting
problem of all had regard TO the possible gifts
of the war TO imaginative literature, military
operations, we are told, always having had an
inspiring effect upon authors, especially poets
and novclists. Curious to relate, there has not
yet been produced a single piece OF writing OF
an imaginative character having its origin In
the conflict with Spain. We do not take this
very seriously. The theory that every war
should enrich the world with classics of poetry
and prose may be carried too far But 1t must
De confessed that the barrenneSs Of this war
in works Of the imagination is Il little surpris-
Ing. Aside from the descriptive and historical
writers, the artists have reaped most Of the
glory.

Abiding to the statement we published last
Sunday TO the effect that the manufacture of
books in this country has greatly improved, 4
correspondent observes: ut is all very well to
"talk about our books being better made-that is
"true enough: but why is 1t that there is still
"such disparity between the American and the
English editions of the same book? Paper and
"prcsSwork, to say nothing of binding, are al
"most invariably better in England than here,
"and yet the price is often lower We have no
way Of explaining this situation, which we be-
licyc is correctly described except on the
familiar hypothesis that labor and materials
are cheaper in England than in America This
does not entirely cover the ground, Of course,
but ii is not without significance. As to the
difference in price, we are informed by high
authority on the subject that the difference
between the areas supplied by the English and
American publishers respectively has much to
do with the subject The annual cost of trans
pOrtatiOn in the book trade is necessarily much
smaller in the British Islands than in the
United States, where parcels have to travel
thousands Of miles to reach their destinations.
Advertising is also said to be much more ex-
tcnsivc in this country than in England. The
boOkOver will continue to regret that many a
book offered to him in American edition Is
less luXuriously got up than the edition cir
culatcd abroad, and he will 20 on quarrelling
with the price; but, matter how unfavorablc
comparisons may be We must repeat that
American publications are being put forth in
better and better fashion We have no doubt
that in time there will be no difference, beyond
the imprint between English and American
editions.
