It will be observed that under the arrangement 
proposed, the position of the Government, the author and 
the publisher .are strictly limited and defined. The 
Government pays a’ moderate sum for authorship—and purchases 
for the use of the Colony 100 copies oh conditions that the 
work is to be sold at a moderate cost to the public. 
The author’s duties are confined to the production of 
the MSS. and correction of the press; he has no share of 
profit of sale. The publisher pays all costs except 
.authorship, and makes what-profit he can out of the sale 
of all copies not pre-empted by the Government. It need 
not be added that the Government, by pj;e-empting copies 
t » « 
may reduce the cost of the work to the public to a nominal 
sum. 
The Camp, Sunningdale. 
Sept. 7, 1887.
