No End to Making of Books.
It appears that the apostle spoke
within limits when he said: "Of the
making Of books there is no end" It
would be interesting to know just
what proportion books of science. mis-
tory and theology bear to the WORKS
of fiction, but there is no way in the
Office Of the register of copyrights o
determine this question.
From the oest data obtainabIe per-
haps 70 per cent. of the copyrighted
books are works of fiction, although
q large number of works on scienti.
fic, medical and legal subjects are
issued annually copyrighted law
books will exceed those on medical
or scientific subjects.
1t is from TIL operation of the copv-
right law that our great Congress.
sional library is being built up. All
books deposited with the register 20
% the library a large majority of
the books of fiction never reach "a
SAFE OF more than a few thousand
copies, and many of them never get
beyond their first thousand. and vol.
umes Of poetry find stiIl less ready
sale.
There are a number Of newspaper
and magazine wri ers who make it a
business TO copyright their articles
contained in each number.
This custom of newspaper writer's
is of very recent origin. Newspaper
writer's have found that their produc-
tons have a value, and by copyright
ing they secure an adequate return
for their zeal and brainwork
Vast as is the building now devor-
ed to the Congressional library. If the
production of books. works Of art anu
musical compositions continue to in
crease for a few wears more in the
same ratio it has maintained for the
last ten years. it will not be very
long until the great building will be
crowded.
When it was designed and erected
it was thought by its projectors that
all the library space would not be
needed within the next fifty years,
but bookmaking in America advances
with as rapid strides as any 0 her
industry The copyright department
and the patent Office are the only
two government adjuncts that make
money enough 10 meet expenses.
