IT is now fairly understood that H . M . Stationery Office will waive its assumed
claim to certain copyrights in Government ¦¦ * publications . The question __< asked by Mr .
Mundella , and the reply given by the Home Secretary , in the House of Commons , show
that in the highest administrative circles there is something more than uncertainty as to the
rights or privileges of the Crown in this respect _— . The authorities have left the subjVFect in
the hands of a legal Committee , whose report upon ^ te the matter maymr be expected __ i shortly- ^ . We
have reason to believe that the legal opinion will not materially disturb the status quo _¦¦» .
A list will doubtless mr be prepared of certain publications which it is thought should at all
times be amenable to governmental supervision . Among these , as a matter of course ,
we may expect to see the books of instruction for the Army and Navymr —the promiscuous _ h use
of which might lead to awkward , if not mischievous , results . No one could rationally
demand the * popularising' of bugle calls and sea signals . At any time during emergencies
these may be changed , and their misuse lead to the destruction of life and propert * . * . y . Such
contingencies may be remote , but they are far from being improbable ; and in all likelihood
they have , as much as anything else , influenced the present action of the Stationery Office .
Those who haye most at stake , who know the subject , and yet who least dread
oppression , are the law publishers . What would happen »• . « . if all leg ^«» islative enactments were
declared _ to be copyri _ ght we cannot dare to prophecy .
Meanwhile we must look forward with interest to the appearance of the promised
report , especially as several inaccurate statements have been published regarding this
very important question . One of these statements is that Messrs . Eyre & Spottiswoode
w _•• have advanced a claim to copyright in conjunction with the Stationery ^— Office . The

Queen's Printers assuredly would not assume I such a dictatorial position . Whatever may I

no startling changes are contemplated . I
