could turn out books rapidly and
cheaply. publisher of the Augustan
era produced 1000 copies of the sec
ond book of Martial in ten hours and
these sold at about II cents apiece,
gave him profit of 100 per cent. This
was done by employing slaves care
fully trained to write swiftly and
legibly. Working in patches of 100,
with an overseer debating the book in
hand, the task was completed in a
very short time. AS soon as the copies
were written they were revised. cor

FIRST-That American interven-
