New News Of Yesterday
What Was Paid for the
Carl Schurz Memoirs
By Holland.

Shortly after the publication az tbe
fact that the late Carl schurz had
practically completed his memoirs
before he was prostrated bv wba,
proved 70 be his last illness wac
told by a publisher that probably ~
largest price ever paid for A hook n,
memoirs was the one which Samnel
). Mcclure, editor Of McClure's Maoa-
zine offered and paid for the Schnlz
memoirs.
Furthermore, ! was told that the
amount was the largest ever paid ~
least In the United States. FOR the
right Of magazine publication Of anv
memoirs. 80
happened to meet Mr.. Mcclure a
few weeks after this statement was
made to me, and ventured to ask him
II ne We're at liberty to tell mo
whether or not this report were cor
rect
y will tell you the story Of the
way in which ] secured the Schurz
memoirs Mr. Mcclure answered.
but ! cannot say, because / do not
know, whether the payment | made
for these memoirs was the largest
ever made by an American MAGAZINE
publisher for work of that kind
1T wasn't nearly as large as the
amount paid to John Morley for writ
ing the biography Of Gladstone. When
J was in England recently I was told
that Morley received $4,000 for writ
ing that book-not excessive pay in
view Of the fact that the work occu-
pied Mr.. Morley exclusively for about
two years and half That, however,
was not published serially in a maga-
zine. There were two competitors in
the market for the Schurz memoirs I
was one and Mr. Glider, the editor OF
tho Century Magazine, was the other.
We began by bidding against each
other. and | have no doubt that the
representatives OF Carl Scnurz were
glad that there was competition Of
this kind When | offered $4,000 MIR.
Glider went me $4,000 better. I made
bid considerably higher than his,
and so we went on see-sawing, each
Of us naming a larger amount than
The other had done, until the total
represented an unprecedented fig
urc, al least IN my experience.
when Mr. elders bid got as higI
as $4,000 ! raised the amount to $40
GOO, and that bid gave me the con
tract, for Mr. Glider did not deem il
prudent TO 80 higher
II was provided however, in the
contract that the payment should be
made in This way: Fifteen thousand
dollars for SO much OF the work as
would constitute one volume when
published in book form. and $4,000
for SO much as would constitute the
second volume. and $4,000 for so
much as would constitute the third
and final volume. That made a total
Of 100000 But ! was never called
upon TO pay more than $4,000 be-
cause no third volume was issued.
~ would he impossible tu say
whether our magazine got our nlurcY
hack on this investment There We're
no appreciable increases il oircula-
ton because Of this publication
II may be the fact that publication
served 70 maintain the circulation Of
the magazine As | told you, I can-
not say whether this was the largest
amount ever paid for serial mlga-
zine publication of the memoirs or
"reminiscences OF an American. but I
am inclined to think that it was. |
am certain that the publication OF
memoirs serially is far more advan-
tageous finacially than original iun-
