Allen, Mateer, Martin, Williams and Legge were brought out in pirated photographic reproductions by the bookshops of Shanghai and sold for one-tenth the cost of the original work. Authors, to protect themselves, compelled the pirates to deliver over the stereotype plates they had made on penalty of being brought before the officials in litigation if they refused.
Bishop Daniel is asked for the Prophecies 'written very large. Bishop Lulla is to send a cosmography and a volume of poems. He applies to one Archbishop for the works of Bede, 'who is the lamp of the Church, and to the other for the Pope's Answers to Augustine, which cannot be found in the Roman bookshops.
Even Radek, a foreign fosterchild and an adopted Russian, took Gogol as well as Shakespeare with him when he went to annoy General Hoffmann at Brest. The Soviet Government has earned the gratitude of many Russians who dislike it for everything else it has done by the resolute way in which it has brought the Russian classics into the bookshops.
If any one needed a proof of the yearning people felt, let him go to the bookshops, or read in the publishers' lists to-day the announcements of books on religion. There was no supply where there was no demand. Truth might no longer be identified with Tradition, and the day was past when councils and synods might determine it for all mankind.
We shall rule out the whole of what may be called the classical period the libraries of Alexandria and Pergamon, the bookshops of Martial's time yes, and even the fourth-century library of Cæsarea for of these we have no relics.
In such old bookshops as I visited all the emphasis was just then laid upon Keats and Lamb and Shelley, whose first editions and presentation copies seem to be continually making the westward journey.
I would have taken you to them, and I would have said, 'Here, Olga, is the voice of the nation speaking to you through the printed page. Learn to read in the language of your new country. Oh, Becky," he broke off, "I wanted to show you the bookshops. It's a perfect pilgrimage " The Admiral, swaying to the wind, came up to them. "Hadn't you better go inside?" he shouted.
"If you had cared to stay, you would have stayed," he told her, rather unreasonably. "Perhaps, after all, Boston to Olga simply means baked beans which she doesn't like, and codfish which she prefers raw " "Now you have spoiled it all," said Becky. "I loved the things that you said about the churches and the bookshops and Bunker Hill." "Did you?
Men are naturally hunters and inquisitive of wood-craft, and I suppose that such a gazetteer as wood-cutters and Indians should furnish facts for, would take place in the most sumptuous drawing-rooms of all the "Wreaths" and "Flora's chaplets" of the bookshops; yet ordinarily, whether we are too clumsy for so subtle a topic, or from whatever cause, as soon as men begin to write on nature, they fall into euphuism.
The censorship of books was even more strongly, and, if possible, more foolishly, exercised. At any of the great bookshops one could obtain, at once, the worst publications of the Paris press; but the really substantial and thoughtful books were carefully held back. The average Russian, in order to read most of these better works, must be specially authorized to do so.
