      Since The Appropriation Of General Gordo...

      SINCE the appropriation of General Gordon ' s Journals , in 1885 , there has not occurred

      a more flagrant breach of literary etiquette than that shown by the wholesale seizure of

      matter from Sir Morell Mackenzie ' s book by some of the leading "London newspapers .

      When General Gordon ' s work was published , the sum and substance of its contents were

      given almost gratuitously to the piiblic by at least one of our enterprising journals * and this

      was done in face of the fact that a very large sum was paid by the publishers for the

      privilege and profit of producing the book . Fortunately the Copyright Laws , though commonly

      thought to be in a chaotic state , are found to be pretty strong when brought before the

      Courts of Justice ; and , if we remember aright , their power was proved in the case we

      have just referred to . Before going far the matter was compromised by the proprietors of

      the erring newspaper . Sir Morell Mackenzie ' s volume has afforded

      another chance to the daily press , which editors have not been slow to take advantage

      1 of . The subject-matter has been niched right . 1 and left , and not only filched , but

      surireptitioualy filched : , , Fair reviews are always advantageous to the author , the publisher

      and the ~^ public , but . it is open Jmt to ddiibt , whether garbled extracts from irresponsible

      pens can give anything ! like an adequate idea of the contents of any book , not to speak of a

      book throug which h , its- calls momentous for " more importance than » passing imt in notice

      contemporaneous history , tjie value ? of i which might be irretrievably destroyed by

      injudicious gleanings . One importa nt aspe mm , ct of the matter is veryV

      I similar —¦ to that which may have influenced the decision in the case , of Gordon's book : thatW

      to say , the disposal of the rights of publication to special newspapers . Unless rights of this
