      T > O 0 KS are of slow growth in new countries , •** so it is not a cause for surprise JLthat * the

      trade' of Greater Britain . is rather meagrely represented at the Colonial and Indian

      Exhibition a . . A few spirited exhibitors , however , have had the enterprise to show their friends

      in the old home that the tree of progress is not only rooted , but begins to flourish

      vigorously in the lands of our kinsmen and friend s beyond the seas . In another place we give a

      brief list of the chief exhibitors at South Kensington ^•^ . Examp ¦¦— les of printin — g ~~^ form the

      greater part of the exhibits associated with the production m . and dissemination of books ;*

      and the quality of workmanship in this department augurs well for the future prosperity of

      the colonial press and conseq \ iently of its native literature . '

      This number of the PublishersCircular will be extensively . circulated abroad ; and it is a

      pleasure to convey to old and new friends in distant lands moving on under the same

      influences , with the same aspirations , and under the same flag , the assurance of old-world

      appreciation of that vitality of intellectual and industrial advancement which is strongly shown

      in the exhibition now progressing so successfully in London . The inauguration of such

      a display was one of the best things that could have occurred . Collected from a . 11 parts of the

      globe maybe seen the evidences of the unswerving ^—r perseverance a * of the Saxon race in their

      adopted countries . Side by side with these may be observed the signs that native industries

      in remote dominions , under British rule and protection , have prospered to an unprecedented

      extent , so that the markets for their sale have been very largely increased .

      We look forward with confidence to the growth of Colonial literature , and one of the

      promising signs of activity in that direction is the enthusiasm which is shown in the

      enak I deavours , of inhabitants to bring together

      comprehensive collections of books relating to their respective countries . Patriotic efforts of this

      description inspire the most fruitful as well as the most enduring love of literature , and there "

      exists a steady hope that , in however slight a degree , the Colonial and Indian Exhibition

      may contribute something towards its

      development . Am

      A popular American humourist tells the story of a man who pined in a dungeon for

      twenty V years and at length , tired >—' of the durance vile , he opened the window and

      walked out . We are reminded of this story by the case of Thomas v . Turner . The

      plaintiff , Mr . Thomas , is a chemist who publishes a "work entitled * Thomas ' s Medical

      Companion , ' of which a third edition has been issued , and this edition , similar in text to the

      first , Mr . Thomas registered at Stationers ' {Hall . The defendant , Mr . Turner , also a chemist , issues a book called Charlton

      Turner ' s Medical Companion / To restrain the defendant from publishing this work , Mr .

      Thomas applied -for an injunction in court , and the "Vice-Chancellor granted the

      injunction craved for . The defendant appealed , his counsel ' s argument being that the first edition

      of the plaintiff's book , published in 1881 , was not registered , although the third edition ,

      dated 1885 , had , been registered . If the plaintiff had applied for advice . to anyone

      practically acquainted with the subject of copyright , he would have been told that a walk to

      Stationers' Hall Court to register his first edition would have cleared away the whole difficulty .

      But the case is dragged through the Court of Appeal , and , not until much expensive

      litigation had been indulged in was the true conclusion arrived at . liord Justice Cotton giving the

      leading opinion , supported by Lord Justice Lindley and Lord Justice Lopes , said that

      sometimes a new edition of a book was an entirely new book ; but , on the other han d , , -i
