CONSCIENCE MONEY.
What the Old Time Publishers Paid
From a SensepOf Justice.


From a SensepOf Justice.
Some interesting details have been
given out lately as to the sums volun-
tarily paid to British novelists by
American publishers before the days Of
International copyright Any American
firm could reprint at once whatever is
sued from the English presses. but
some publishers arranged with British
authors for advance sheets of forth
coming works, thus enabling them to
get the start of 'piratical" firms which
paid the author nothing. 1t is interest
ing to observe the occasional disparity
between the merit of the book and the
price paid. The whole thing was in
the nature of leap in the dark. Often
the sum given by the American pub
Usher was really more than the Amer
lean rights would probably have been
worth had it been possible to secure
them by copyright Thus Anthony
Trollope got $500 for ''Sir Harry Hot
spur" one of his poorest novels; George
Eliot $500 for Daniel DerOnda" and
Charles Reade $4,000 for "A Woman
Hater.'' No publisher today would
pay any such sums for these books If
he were permitted to read them before
buying.
On the other hand. by way of com
parison. the very best books brought
their authors only trifling returns from
America. Charles Reade received only
$3.50 for "Put Yourself In His Place."
$1,000 for Hard Cash." these being
two of his finest novels. and $1,000 for
"Love Me Little. Love Me Long"
Thackeray got only $3.50 for 1.-THE New
comes and $500 for Henry Esmond"
Trollope obtained from the Harpers
$125 for 1.-The Bertrams." $3.50 for
castle Richmond" $500 for "Phineas
Finn" $3.50 for 1.-THE Eustace Dia-
monds." ''Orley Farm" Lady Anna"
and Ralph the Heir" The $500 for
his Cicero is fully as much as any
American publisher would give today
for the copyright of such book
George Eliot received only 500 for
adam Bede" and $3.50 for "Silas Mar
ner." 1.-THE Mill on the Floss" brought
her 81 800. ,.
Wilkie Collins and Dickens were the
most popular authors of the precopy-
right period. and they Jared best of all
at the hands of their authorized Amer
lean publishers The former drew from
this country $500 for THE Woman In
White" $3.750 each for '"The Moon
stone" and MAN and Wife" and $4,000
for poor Miss Finch" To Dickens
the Harpers paid $1,250 for Little
Dorrit." $500 for "Bleak House."
SIS 900 each for "Our Mutual Friend"
and "a Tale Of Two Cities and $500
for "Great Expectations" this last rep

voluntary payments.-Bookman.
