dressed the opinion that the copyright laws OF
Great Britain and the United States were now so
nearly what they ought be that they only needed
one commercially Jriing but morally gigantic
amendment in order become perfect Mr.;
clemens explained that the amendment would
be the removal of the fOrty-two year limit and a
return perpetual copyright.
Mr.. Clemens cOntenGed that there was no dis
tinction between authors rights and any other
kind of property. He did not believe tnaU in the
long run question of copyright or no copyright
governed the price of a book. If perpetual copy
right had been given TO the works of Shakespeare
Mir Clemens was confident that the Bari of Avon
could stu be had in twenty-five styles and al
twenty-five prices

Stale is not worth consideration. 1t is triiti1g
sum which the richest nation earth extracts

graduation that this ancient and mouldy wrong
