      Rphe Government Has Now( Commenced To J-...

      rpHE Government has now commenced to J- print ' All Bights Reserved' on some of

      its publications < This might have been anticipated after the publicity given to the Treasury

      minute of August 31 , which we printed in full in our last number . It is well that the

      Stationery Office should have defined so clearly in what properties they claim to possess

      copyright . ¦ > Probably the recent establishment of the

      Board of Trade Journal , which enters into direct and unfair competition with various

      valuable mercantile organs , may have had something to do with the newly-declared claim

      of copyright . We observe that this red-tape publication is included in the list of works

      which are to be stringently protected . The question arises : Will the Government permit

      the usual journalistic privilege of allowing quotations to be made , provided the original

      source is acknowledged ? This is important / because the authorities are in a position to give

      the very earliest information , and it is unlikely that the Board of Trade Journal willin itself

      prove a means of disseminating particulars , , the knowledge of which is calculated to benefit

      the public at large . There is one claim which , if urgently

      enforced , should be strongly opposed * . We ^ speak V of the claim regarding charts and ordnance

      - * W -VwT maps . Unless the Government is prepared to place maps in the market in the same form as

      other publishers the public must suffer . The price of official maps is almost prohibitive ,,

      while the forms in which they ate usually issued are highly inconvenient . Another

      objectior * is that they are difficult to be had , for ho bookseller would be foolish enough to keep

      them , Thus it is that great good has been ex , . '

      done by geographical publishers who have

      incorporated the results of Government surveys in maps that are adapted to the public taste

      arid convenience . To pirove that official maps had been copied would be a very easy matter .

      In that case we would not be surprised if the Government adhered to their copyright claim .

      The difficulties that may arise by an unyielding insistence in this matter must be

      numerous . We shall not here repeat our opinion on the rights of the Crown , but hope that

      qu-estions as they arise will l ^ e systematically and minutely investigated , not with a view to

      what is sophistically called the - ' relief of the general public from taxation / but in the

      interests of the expansion of knowledge and on behalf of those who bring snoh knowledge

      most clearly within the understanding of the people .
