The chief London publishers seem wisely, to
have determined to diminish their present
stocks rather than enla> ge them father by new
and hazardous speculations. It can no longer be
concealed, that the accumulation of books, with
no belter rceommendation than fine paper and
printing, has injured substantial literature,
while it has vitiated and abused the public taste.
We are convinced that the maximum of advan
tage in the publication of books consists In the
moderation of their prices. Latterly, many
book.* have been published at prices for which
they could -be copied by scriveners at half—
thereby superceding the benefit of printing."
