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 Saxonythe law of January 21863 makes it
very clear , that unless otherwise , specified , the first edition may not exceed 1 , 000 copies . It was a fine stroke of genius on-t > he 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 editionand 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 « --v - ¦ nevertheless —— - - — — — - — to — pay mg m * mmrmr' m the " ^~ p ^ p" p ^^ —p ^ 1
