    The Dorsheimee Bill.—Since Our Last Issu...

    The Dorsheimee Bill . —Since our last issue we have received the New York Publishers Weeklywhich contains the text of this Billand a good deal of correspondence thereon in

    reference , to it . It is very satisfactory to find that , it receives the hearty support not only of The New York Nation , but of such a powerful and widely-spread organ as The New

    ForiS ; Herald , which paper characterises it as * a simple , practicable , and just scheme . ' The New York Times pats the author approvingly on the back , and says ' its adoption , would

    render any further agitation of the subject impossible ; * and it coolly adds : 'The obstacle in the way of copyright has for some years been that the English publisher has climbed upon the

    view shoulders of the of the position JSngl , ish but a / uthor it is not , and new refuses , this to hum dismount orous picture I y This has is been certain used ly before a rather . amusing We had

    thought that American publishers have had something to do with the upset of previous schemes . Wehoweverhave always regarded the question of copyright as an absolute right

    pertaining to , authors onl , y , and there is no reason for mixing up trade interests therewith . The New York Times says * that the Dorsheimer Billy combined with the duty on foreign

    books , would make it for the interest of the foreign author to have his work manufactured in this country . This "would leave the British publishers out of the question . * So be it . We

    have not the slightest objection , as it would equally leave American publishers out of the and question it cannot , whilst be th doubted ey will / Vt that always / racticall have VUfJLl this manufacture duty as a preponderating in their 1 country wei will ght be V / in the 1 their result kF 1 favour \/ if JLJL this ,
