to their customers, the jobbers and retail booksellers. It is well known that both the publishing and retail book trades are in a badly demoralized condition, and those who know the true inwardness" of affairs will admit that the house of Belford, Clarke & Co. have been a prime factor in this demoralization. They now state that" the chief cause of the suspension was the immense cheapening of standard works." Who caused this cheapening" of such works? What other leading house has ever catalogued sets of standard works at $10, $12, $16, etc., and sold them at $2.40, $3.60, $4.80, etc., and even less? Belford, Clarke & Co. were the first, and most reckless, in making such reductions in prices, and forced responsible publishers into much unprofitable business, in a vain attempt to meet wildcat competition. What other large publishing house has made a catalogue of books at high prices, and after stocking up the jobbers and retail trade, has put cheap John travelling bookstores into the towns and villages throughout the country to retail these books at less than jobbing prices? Twice have Belford, Clarke & Co. had a temporary concern in the town from which I write, selling their books at less than trade prices. Within a few weeks they have retailed their clothbound 12mos here at 25 cts., and when they went slowly at that price, put the books up at auction and sold them at any price they would bring. R. J. Belford says that "the firm has never at any period of its existence engaged in making reprints of popular English works." If this be true, what bold pirate has flooded the market with the editions of Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Macaulay, Carlyle, Ruskin, Lord Lytton, George Eliot, Black, Smiles, Ouida, Haggard, The Duchess," and other English authors, bearing the imprint of Belford, Clarke & Co.? He also states that "no American book, by an American author, published by them, has ever resulted in a loss." Newspaper report says that Belford, Clarke & Co. owe $50,000 to American authors. As to "erotic literature," it is well known that this house have published books that were not fit to read, and that have been condemned as corrupting and immoral by the better portion of the press. It is claimed that the 46 assets at the time of the failure were in excess of the liabilities, but they now offer the creditors 25 cents on the dollar, with an insinuation that if the offer is not accepted they may fare worse. An impression is sought to be given that the firm's generosity to American authors" is a leading cause of the failure. Possibly the "younger authors of the country" would favor "an immediate resumption of business," if they thought that would secure their $50,000. But it is doubtful that they would be willing to continue to furnish MSS. at twenty-five cents on the dollar. No better commentary is needed on Belford, Clarke & Co.'s business methods than that furnished by their full-page advertisement in the same issue of the American Bookseller containing their "statement." This advertisement, which has been widely published, offers a "ten dollar" set of George Eliot's works and Belford's Magazine, one year, for $4.50. Should this house be presented with threefourths of their liabilities, they will be in a position to still further damage the business of old and honorable publishing houses, which always have met their obligations and paid one hundred cents on the dollar, and there is no knowing to what extent demoralization of the book trade may be carried. Should their suspension prove final, a long step may be taken towards again putting the publishing business on a sound basis, with fixed principles and recognized business methods. A COUNTRY BOOKSELLER. [In justice to Messrs. Belford, Clarke & Co., we would say that we believe the rumor as to the debt of $50,000 to American authors to be a large exaggeration.—ED. P. W.] THE BELFORD, CLARKE & CO. FAILURE. VARIOUS statements continue to be made as to the progress of the compromise offered by this firm, but our representatives have not been able, after several calls at their office, to find any one in who could give definite information, despite the invitation given by the journal representing them to its contemporaries, "to take the trouble to investigate and find out what is really the truth." Our columns are, of course, open to them for any statement of facts or any reply to the criticisms on their course made in this journal. No further information has been furnished as to the so-called "creditors' meeting," said to have been held at Cleveland, O., which city is not even in either of the States in which and under whose laws the firm have done their publishing business, and no notice of such a meeting was received by a number of the creditors in the publishing trade of whom we have inquired. The meeting seems to have been a private consultation of the parties who were "deepest in." Most of the trade creditors of whom we have inquired have not "signed off," and are still in the dark. A press despatch from Chicago, under date of Oct. 30, says: "The receiver of Belford, Clarke & Co. was to-day authorized by Judge Shepard to pay the $5000 judgment of the First National Bank and to sell the bills receivable and accounts now in his hands to Alexander Belford for their face value. It is said that the above order entered to-day is the forerunner of an arrangement by which Belford, Clarke & Co. will resume business." It is learned here that Mr. Lange, of the Trow Printing Co., which has been one of the largest backers and creditors of this as well as of other reprinting houses that have gone bankrupt of recent years, but which is said to be partly secured by large quantities of stock in its possession, has been actively coöperating in obtaining an arrangement with certain creditors, and that in some cases the indorsement or paper of the Trow Printing Co. has been obtained by creditors. It is supposed to be the plan to arrange with the large creditors, whose interests are so considerable as to induce them to take any practicable compromise rather than show fight, and then "put the screws on" the minor creditors or to buy up small claims in full. to There is much feeling in the trade as to the houses who have been backing the reckless business methods of this house, and the paper-makers chiefly concerned have been refused orders by previous customers since the facts of the failure have in part come to light. SOME PUBLISHING STATISTICS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO. EXTRACT from a letter of Jared Sparks to J. C. Payne, of Montpelier, Va., brother of Mrs. Madison, dated November 7, 1836: "The following statement will give you some idea of the extent of sales of books similar in character to Mr. Madison's: Marshall's Life of Washington, 10,000 were printedthere were 7000 subscribers, and the whole edition was not sold till 1830, being 25 years. Jefferson's Writings, Boston edition-3000 copies, printed six years ago, and are not nearly all sold. The first edition in Virginia was confined to the South. Washington's Writings, now in press -the present sale is 4000 copies, and the work has been in the market three years. I do not expect a sale of more than 5000 or 6000 in ten years. Life and Writings of John Jay, been published three years. The number sold I cannot state positively, but my impression is that it is under 2000. AUTHORS' AND PUBLISHERS' RIGHTS IN GERMANY. From the London Publishers' Circular. THERE is no common legislation as to the rights of authors and publishers in the German Empire. Many of the States have their own separate and distinct regulations, which are usually regulated by custom, and sometimes by the interpretations which the Court places upon a particular phrasing. The question of a common law for the whole Empire has frequently been debated, and its utility universally admitted, but it involves so many points and interests that the Imperial Parliament appears to be reluctant to take the subject up, Copyright laws, or Verlagsrechte,' in various parts of Germany, are much more fair and definite to authors and publishers than those in this country. After he has acquired the exclusive right of reproduction, the publisher is bound to publish the work; in this country certain members of the fraternity acquire the exclusive right, but when the copy' is in their possession flatly decline to make any advance until a certain number of subscribers or sum or money has been obtained; which may be years and may be never.' On the other hand, the author is bound to deliver his manuscript at a stipulated time, or the publisher may not only withdraw from the contract, but sue the man of letters for compensation. The tradesman is not permitted to make any alterations in the contents of the work. As a rule the assignment holds good for only one edition, a new contract being necessary for each new edition; and an author may not issue a new edition before the old one is sold, unless he compensates the publisher. In Prussia, if the number of copies of the first edition is not specified, the publisher may reprint the work without alterations as often as he pleases. In Baden the number is unlimited, but a reprint is not allowed. In Saxony, the law of January 2, 1863, makes it very clear that unless otherwise specified the first edition may not exceed 1000 copies. It was a fine stroke of genius on the part of the Prussian authorities to enact that 'in case of disagreement the fee for a new edition is to be half that for the first'! The author of an unexpectedly popular book would naturally demand payment at an enhanced rate for a new edition, and in repudiating any such claim the publisher would be simply driving his own wheelbarrow! The author is almost invariably an irritable animal! The liability of a publisher is, in Saxony at all events, very clearly defined. If a work is accidentally lost when in his hands, he has nevertheless to pay the fee; but the author is bound to supply another copy of the work if he is in a position to do so; and if a work is accidentally destroyed after publication the publisher is bound to replace the copies without paying any additional fee." NOTES ON AUTHORS. BARON HAUSSMANN is preparing an edition of his memoirs in four volumes. HENRY M. HUNT, a well-known Chicago journalist, has in preparation a history of the Cronin murder, which is to be published under the title of "The Crime of the Century." W. CLARK RUSSELL, the marine novelist, who is now hopelessly crippled by rheumatism, lives at Brighton, England, and has most of his time to put in in a wheeled chair. He was born in Philadelphia. AT the Paris Exposition, the highest award to any author of juvenile books was given to Thos. W. Knox, whose Boy Travellers series and other works for young people are published by Messrs. Harper & Brothers. THE REV. EDWARD STAATS DE GROTE TOMPKINS, the author of "An Honest Hypocrite," recently published by Cassell & Co., is the rector of a church in Troy, N. Y. Mr. Tompkins is a graduate of Yale College, and is of Dutch ancestry, his family having come from Holland and settled in Westchester County, New York, in 1620, which refutes the charge that the story is autobiographical. A young Englishman in New York with whom Mr. Tompkins is acquainted, and whose waverings and doubts form the basis of the plot, gave him his leading motive. The book is really the author's own beliefs put into the form of a story instead of into a sermon. The point that is at once raised by this story is, "Is Christianity a sham or is it not?" The question is not as to its theological, historical, or liturgical truth, but as to its actual practical workings. Mr. Tompkins denies the portraits he is said to have painted. The fashionable "Dr. Grady" is not the well-known clergyman he is supposed to be, nor is " Adrienne" intended for the Duchess of Marlborough. To be sure, the Duchess of Marlborough came from Troy, where the scene of the story is laid, but the author did not know her when she was a young woman. Her character was formed before he had the pleasure of meeting her. Such, in brief, is the idea of one of the most striking novels of the day, the readers of which may be interested to know that Mr. Tompkins is a young man and unmarried. OBITUARY NOTES. EMILE AUGIER, the celebrated French dramatist and poet, died on the 27th October, aged 79 years. LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES. MR. E. C. SWAYNE, of E. P. Dutton & Co., sailed for Europe, Oct. 30, on the S. S. City of Paris, to be gone several months. ROBERT BROWNING's forthcoming new volume is not, as has been supposed, a single poem, but a collection of short poems. "JOHN WARD, PREACHER," has passed its fiftieth thousand in America, been added to the Tauchnitz list in Germany, and now is translated into Dutch. CHARLES A. WENBORNE, Buffalo, N. Y., has in preparation "Glimpses in the Upper Spheres," being Luther R. Marsh's conversations with chief characters of the Bible, through medial agencies. FRANK R. STOCKTON's new novel, "The Story of the Three Burglars," is to be published by a syndicate of newspapers. It presents the three burglars as exchanging stories of their adventurous lives in the course of a midnight prowl. 46 FREDERICK A. STOKES & BROTHER invite the trade and their friends to a White and Gold" exhibition of water-color paintings by such American artists as Percy Moran, W. Hamilton Gibson, Maud Humphrey, C. R. Grant, H. W. McVickar, James MacDonald Barnsley, James Symington, Paul Nimmo Moran, Harry Fenn, and Susie Barstow Skelding. The exhibition will be open until the 15th inst. FUNK & WAGNALLS have just_ready_“The Life-Work of the Author of Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Florine Thayer McCray, already fully described in the WEEKLY. The volume contains a portrait of Mrs. Stowe, at the age of forty-one, engraved on steel by J. L. Phillips, and a woodcut portrait of the author of "Old-Time Folks," also a number of fac-similes and views of the houses in which Mrs. Stowe's most important books were written. THE J. B. LIPPINCOTT Co. will soon publish "As You Like It," forming the eighth volume of the new variorum Shakespeare edition, edited by Dr. Horace Howard Furness. This edition has been held in such high esteem by Shakespearian students, that the present announcement will be more than welcome to those who have studied the previous volumes. This edition of Shakespeare throws much light on these dramas, and gives an interesting compendium of what has been written about them. FLEMING H. REVELL, Chicago and New York, publishes this week a series of thirty maps and plans of the entire world as known in Scripture. The series is entitled Revell's Biblical Wall Atlas " and was prepared by T. Ruddiman Johnson, who has availed himself of the results of the latest geographical research, including the recent surveys of the "Palestine Exploration Fund," to gether with every benefit of the most accurate modern scholarship. The maps are mounted on eight Hartshorn self-acting spring rollers, 54 x 46, and set in handsome cherry or oak lock-map case. THE BURROWS BROTHERS Co., of Cleveland, will publish next week their sumptuous illustrated edition of R. D. Blackmore's "Lorna Doone." This deservedly popular story has been “extended" with several hundred original designs drawn largely from nature-from the wildly picturesque spots in Exmoor and the land of the Doones-by the best engravers. The publishers have also well-known artists, and reproduced on wood by added a fine map in colors of Exmoor, Devonshire, the scene of this fascinating romance. Typographically everything has been done to make the book attractive. It is full octavo, 7 x 10 inches (the type page in correct proportion measuring 31⁄2 x 64 inches), printed on fine white paper and bound in an ornate cover bearing in its centre (in red and gold) the coat-of-arms of John Ridd. Altogether it forms one of the leading books of this season. Philadelphia, has in press another contribution to DR. DANIEL G. BRINTON, 2041 Chestnut St., aboriginal American literature, entitled "Rig Mexicans." This volume contains a number of Veda Americana-sacred songs of the ancient very ancient religious chants preserved in two Nahuatl MSS., one at Madrid, the other at Florence, both of which Dr. Brinton has personally collated. The songs, or chants, are valuable not merely as curious antiquities, but as throwing light on the religious thought and mythology of the native Mexicans, and as illustrating the archaic forms and sacred locutions of their tongue. The author has added to the volume a gloss in Nahuatl, a sixteenth century commentary on the obscurities of the text found in the Madrid MS., a paraphrase, notes, and a very full vocabulary. The volume forms the eighth of Dr. Brinton's valuable Library of Aboriginal American Literature. CASSELL & Co. will publish on the 11th inst. the " Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff," which was published in Paris a year ago, and at once attracted the attention of the artistic and literary world. No one seemed to know much about the book nor the young girl whose life it laid bare. It had evidently not been edited by an experienced hand, and the only introduction it had was a panegyrical poem by Theuriet. Soon after the appearance of the book, an article by Mathilde Blind was printed in the Woman's World, telling something more about this remarkable girl than was told in her journal. A few weeks ago Miss Helen Zimmern had an article in Blackwood's about her, and the November Scribner has a eulogy of the journal by Miss Josephine Lazarus. But the most eulogistic of all is Mr. Gladstone in an article contributed to the Nineteenth Century. Marie Bashkirtseff was a Russian artist who passed most of her short life (she died when she was twenty-four) in Paris. The diary covers the last twelve years of her life. A portrait of Marie with reproductions from some of her paintings, which are now being exhibited in Paris, where they were purchased for the Luxembourg Gallery, will accompany this edition of her journal, as will also Mr. Gladstone's article and an account of a visit to the young artist, by François Coppée. The translation is by Mary J. Serrano. BUSINESS NOTES. TRINIDAD, COL.-Sanford & Clark, booksellers, have had their stock damaged by fire. TRUMANSBURG, N. Y.-E. P. Davie, bookseller, has sold out.
