"GENTLEMEN,-I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the value of your Fire-proof Safe. Last Monday night my house, warehouse, premises were unfortunately burned down; the fire raged very fearfully for about two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my premises and stock were consumed. The Safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it, and melting with the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the Safe, which greatly added to the intensity of the heat; it remained in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it was got out of the fire, and opened, I found my books and papers all uninjured. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this information. "I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully, "Messrs. Thos. Milner & Son, WM. WALKER. 47 A, Moorgate-street, London." "Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854. "GENTLEMEN,-I was present at the late fire which destroyed the premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the great amount of heat your Safe resisted, and still more surprised (when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near it) that it was not entirely destroyed. Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and ou side of the Safe, and from analysis find much sulphuret, so that it must have been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers were perfectly uninjured. I must, in justice, say that your Safes are invaluable, and very necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value. "I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully, "To Messrs Thos.

LONDON, AUGUST 26, 1854. WE return to the subject of Jefferys v. Boosey, not for the purpose of questioning its law, which would of course be absurd, but for the purpose of shewing what very absurd consequences will follow from it, and of shewing how completely it will operate as a tax and a vexation on foreign writers, and nothing more. It may be quite true that the Legislature must primâ facie be taken to have made laws for its own subjects exclusively, but it does not follow that that is in all cases a politic act of the Legislature. So it may be quite true that, in point of law, a foreigner cannot, out of this country, so transfer copyright as to entitle the assignee to secure it in this country, but that he may, if he chooses to come to this country and here to publish, secure copyright for himself or his assignee. But mark the absurdity of the consequences-he must publish here; but what extent of residence, with reference to publication, will suffice, is most guardedly left in the lark by the House of Lords in Jefferys v. Boosey; so hat whether to be here to commit the manuscript to the care of the publisher is enough, or whether the author must abide the termination of printing-the eturning for press, as it is technically termed-or wheher he must be here when the publication, that is, the ssuing of a copy for sale, first takes place, has yet to be VOL. XVIII. G G that it is enough that the author should be personally here to commit his manuscript into the hands of the publisher, then a journey is imposed on the unhappy author for no earthly purpose except to satisfy a theory of his being for an instant subject to the laws of this realm. The driest of dry trustees to uses, not inaptly termed, in words of art, a conduit-pipe, does not perform a more ignoble part, a more instantaneous and evanescent function, than will the foreign author, who will be brought here to do what his agent's porter could do quite as well, with quite as much benefit to the country, and with quite as much of actual responsibility to its laws. The author must, coute qu'il coute, come from whatever distance may be his own land, step on our shores, and in his own proper person deliver seisin of his work to the public of this country; having done which he may vanish; English copyright has been created, and is thenceforth assignable, and the author may go. And for this triviality he has been brought, perhaps, hundreds of miles! But whether that construction or the less liberal construction be that put on the law-whether he must acquire here a substantial residence, or whether he may be the mere trustee to uses of his manuscriptin either case it is clear that the printing must take place here; so that the author must either reside here to pass his work through the press, or he must have the sheets sent to him for correction in his own country, or he must get a friend to pass the book through the press. The hardship of this on foreign authors will be very great; and the absurdity will be very great of compelling a man to stay here to do what could just as well in any other place, if that place is respects more convenient to him. As to the policy of the law-a word cont ..ully the mouths of us lawyers-the expression is, in reference to this law, just verbiage, and nothing more. There is no policy at all in such a law; there is, indeed, very little question about policy, in its high sense, in the subject. It is a question simply of convenience and commercial justice. It is convenient to us, and convenient to the author, that M. Guizot, or M. Lamartine, or Felix Mendelsohn, or Signor Bellini should, according to their gifts, put forth their works in this country, if it so suits them. It is just, and no more than just, that they should, like every other man of labour, be able to secure the price of their labour, if they desire or require so to do. It is just and convenient that they should write where they like, and print where they like, and how they like. The only thing in which the public has any interest whatever in meddling, is to have some certain test by which they may know what is M. Guizot's or any other author's literary property, in order that they may not interfere with his right of property; and that test would be as effectually secured if the author could impart copyright, in the mode attempted in Bellini's case, as by his printing and publishing the work here. Of the injury to those who have purchased copy-qualification. rights, or rather supposed copyrights, on the faith of the decision of the Court of Exchequer, we shall say nothing, except that it will be but little comfort to them to reflect, that the law by which they suffer the loss of thousands is a very absurd one. 10.
