Any New Question ¥Es)>Ecting Transaction...
ANY new question ¥ es )> ecting transactions between authors ttild publishers deserves
notice . Lately it ha * come to our knowledge that one or two guide —^> -books , hand-books ,
year-books , or Works _ of that character , published at regular or irregular intervals , have
been very imperfectly , even inaccurately , edited . As a matter of fact , special books now
referred to , which ought to have been kept * up to datein their contents , were found in
reality to ' be pretty far behind the times . Speaking plainly , the work had been editorially
c scamped / Complaints which we have heard indicate that the publishers who are responsible
to the public for the accuracy and consequent usefulness of publications A . of this character
are very naturally incensed not only on account of their reputations being at stake ,
4 W —a ^ vbut also because valuable literary property is endangered by what cannot be spoken of as
anything less than culpable negligence . If an editor receives the stipend mentioned
in his , agreement for the supervision of any press work it is surely rig ¦ ht to expect that the
interests «* of those who —^ have —mw trusted ---- the honesty of his services should with him be a leading
consideration . A case , now in abeyance we understand , in the law courts exemplifies
these remarks very aptly . The editor of a popular manual , which required frequent
and careful revision , was found to have done little or nothing ¦¦ — for the book for some years —¦¦ .
All the time he had drawn his payments and allowed the volume , unchanged , to be issued
in successive ' new and revised' editions . The result , as might be expected , was that the
editorship had to be transferred to another writer , and , immediately afterwards , the
former editor , who had failed in his duty , thought it necessary to begin an action at law
against the publisher , whom he accused of breaking his contract .
It is right to say that conduct of this description is happily rarely found in the
relations existing between publishers and writers . When instances do occur , however .
it is well to bring them to the front as
examples and warnings .
