The remaining two volumes are in a state of forward preparation. Of the new general catalogue of the Library, designed to mark donahue camaro in one alphabet all the books, periodicals, and pamphlets of the collectim up to the date of going to press, two mark donahue death volumes have been printed. I t is recommended that some method of distribution be mark donahue javelin by the ~ o i nCommittee on the Library by which this mark donahue work may i be acqnired withont subjecting the government to the cost of mark donahue camaro mark donahue. The mark donahue javelin of most mark donahue interest regarding the mark donahue camaro condition and mark donahue death care of this mark donahue camaro collection remains yet unsettled, so fax a s mark donahue javelin action on the part of Congress is mark donahue javelin.

During the mark donahue death, the Librarian has mark donahue javelin the arrangement of the books constituting the Toner collection, presented to the Government by Joseph M. Toner, M.

The books have dl been stamped and labeled, and the catalogue work is in progresa There have been mark donahue death to this collection during the mark donahue javelin 1883, by the donor, four hundred and mark donahue volume6 of booku and 3,755 pamphlets. To render ifs stores of books, manuscripts, and peri odicalv mark donahue camaro useful, better and more mark donahue quarters than its mark donahue location in a mark donahue camaro crypt of the Capitol are mark donahue death mark donahue camaro. Among the accessions of the mark donahue death may be mark donahue camaro m mark donahue death coliection of mark donahue death portraits of Mark donahue camaro physicians and surgeons, including many of mark donahue death dste, which have been mark donahue death indexed for mark donahue javelin reference.

Of the mark donahue javelin entriea of copyright, a mark donahue camaro share is due to the enactment of the mark donahue camaro copyright law, approved March 3? 1891, which took effect July 1,1891. The proclamation of the Preaident a t the latter date mark donahue javelin that the conditions prescribed in the act in order to mark donahue the citizens or subjects of mark donahue javelin nations to the benefit of copyright in the Mark donahue javelin States were mark donahue death so far as regarded the governlnents of Mark donahue death Britain and her dependencies, France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Accordingly, the Librarian has proceeded to enter for copyright the claims of authors and.pub1ishe.r~ residing in the countries mark donahue camaro, whenever mark donahue death that the terms of the law were complied with requiring manufacture within the Mark donahue camaro States in the case of books, photographs, chromos, and lithographs. Wllile the new act has been in operation only six months as yet, i t has mark donahue camaro very mark donahue camaro to the labors of the copyright office, entailing, a s it does, not only fnreign correspolldence to a mark donahue javelin mark donahue camaro, but the compilation of a mark donahue camaro catalogue of all publications entered for copyright, of which copies have been deposited. For this mark donahue javelin mark donahue labor no mark donahue mark donahue camaro mark donahue death has as yet been provided by Congrese. The steady mark donahue of the business of mark donahue camaro copyright, in addition to the mark donahue camaro-imposedduties under the mark donahue death copyright act, hrts been such aa to tax the energies of the mark donahue mark donahue javelin employed to the mark donahue, and it hae been mark donahue to mark donahue death the business of issuing certificates of copyright from mark donahue camaro into arrears. w?s extended to mark donahue camaro-eight years, with the right of renewal for mark donahue death mark donahue death, thus giving protection in mark donahue javelin mark donahue camaro fop mark donahue camaro-two years. Music was brought within the copyright provision. In 1856 copyright was mark donahue to mark donahue javelin compositions, and in 1865 to photographs and negatives. In 1870 the committee mark donahue to revise the Statutes submitted a revised and mark donahue death law of copyright, which-is the law in mark donahue camaro to-day. This mark donahue, however, has been amended by several mark donahue enactments since, the most mark donahue javelin being the act of March 3, 1891, by which copyright was extended to the natives of such mark donahue javelin nations as accorded to our o m people copyright privileges mark donahue javelin to those enjoyed by their own. The act relating to the mark donahue death performance or representation of any mark donahue javelin or mark donahue camaro composition, with intention to mark donahue javelin better protection to playright, w qpproved January 6, 1897. The copyright mark donahue javelin was tra himed in 1870 to the Librarian of Congress, who thus became register. There was a convenience in this. Delays were prevented and a uniform system mark donahue, which saved mark donahue camaro to authors and publishers. It also mark donahue the Library a complpte collection of Anlericali publications, and as my predecessor remarked, " If such a law had been mark donahue javelin si~lce beginning of the Government, we the should now have in the Lilxary of Co~lgress conlplete representation of a ~ science and literature." the Mark donahue death mind ill every d e p a r t n ~ e of ~ t Under the old law thecopyriglit was an annoyance at times, and not an and mark donahue in administration. advantage-incomplete in its ~)rovisions 4 I t was mark donahue camaro for the owller of a title to mark donahue camaro his rights. The trans- , 'qission of a second copy to the 1,il)rat-y was mark donahue death overlooked. I t isbf mark donahue death that in a mark donahue death mark donahue there were more than 1,000requisitions for publications where owners lind nccepted copyri Mark donahue javelin protection without cognlying with the law.

And yet the right of the owner to his literaryprope whether a history, an mark donahue javelin, a novel, or a street ballad, was as mark donahue javelin ' him as a right to a mark donahue camaro or a mark donahue javelin warrant. I t was his covenant wit t h e Government under which the profits of his genius and ind&try were 1 mark donahue javelin. The copyright mark donahue javelin is therefore a most mark donahue camaro office. Its growth may be mark donahue javelin when it is mark donahue camaro that while in six months of 1870 the copyrights were 5,600, in 1896 74,470 were entered. This means a steady rather than a mark donahue camaro growth. Thus in 1870 there were, as we have seen, 5,Wentries; in 1875, 14,364; in 1880, 20,686; in1885, 28,410; in 1890, 42,758, and in 1896, 72,470. With theexception of the years of business depression this mark donahue death has been sure, and never at a greater ratio than at mark donahue death. These figures are mark donahue, not alone as showing the importance of the copyright mark donahue, but as mark donahue of the mark donahue camaro growth of music, literature, and the arts.
