yet has not been fully explained . Among those who purchase pirated editions the style
of a book , either in printing or binding , seems to be of little account . The direction of the
public taste in this respect is a task which requires a very powerful union indeed i , and it is
earnestly to be hoped that the Aldine Publishing Company * may be enabled to carry
out to the fullest extent their laudable exertions .
International copyright , lately , has had not a little prominence through two notable cases .
One of these , it is almost needless to say , was the occasion of the acrimonious
correspondence between Mr . Frederic Harrison and Mr . Herbert Spencer with regard to the
publication in New York of the great controversy which originally appeared in the columns of
the Nineteenth Century' . That controversy was brought to a sensible conclusion by Mr .
Spencer , when he instructed Messrs . Apple ton to stop the issue of the American book and
to debit the expense against himself . Less known , but more to be blamed , was the piracy .
of Stepniak ' s * Russia under the Tzars . ' A few copies of the book had to be prepared in
advance , before the author had finally passed the proofs , and one of these copies having found
its way into speculative hands , the result was , heedless of the author ' s pocket , * a
reproduction—Chinese in its fidelity—of every error , unrevised passage , or necessary bit of
cis-Atlantic proof correction , which was in the first copies of the authorised edition . ' Conduct
such as this ought to come under public condemnation : it is far beyond the subject
of an author ' s individual wrongs .
