CONTEMPORARY FRENCH LITERATURE. Early in July, in 8vo. Divisions I. and II. price Two Shillings each, and Vol. I. price Five Shillings, of THE HISTORY OF THE RESTORATION OF MONARCHY In France; BEING A SEQUEL TO THE HISTORY OF THE GIRONDISTS:" BY ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE: AND FORMING THE FIRST OF A Series of Works to be selected from the best Contemporary Literature of France, And to be PUBLISHED SIMULTANEOUSLY in LONDON and PARIS. TO THE TRADE AND THE PUBLIC. On behalf of the Author and the Proprietors of the above important History, your assistance is solicited in circulating the only authorised and complete English version, that can be published in this country, of a work towards which the distinguished reputation of its Author must direct European attention, and which, from its recognising the justice of that monarchical policy pursued by our government, in order to check the grasping ambition of Napoleon, cannot fail to be deeply interesting to the British Nation. Hitherto the Copyright laws have been expounded with great illiberality towards the literary genius of Foreigners. While a species of protection has been offered to their inventive faculties, conditionally upon their submitting to the frequently prohibitory taxation of the Patent laws, the barbarism of the feudal ages has been perpetuated, even to the present day, in withholding from their more intellectual productions all legal recognition of "right, title, and interest." The more just interpretation of these laws, as pronounced by Lord Campbell in a recent case, has led to the certainty of this questio vexata being speedily established upon a basis more in unison with the enlightened and progressive spirit of the age. At the present moment the respective governments of the English and French nations are arranging the details of an international law, under which the rights of the Author and the Artist will be reciprocally recognised and protected. That this law will be in force long before the publication of the latter volumes of the "HISTORY OF THE RESTORATION" is quite evident; but until sufficient measures be taken to repress a traffic, justly disgraced by the name of literary piracy, the Author and Proprietors of the present work are resolved to oppose its dishonesty by every justifiable means at their command. In Belgium, where they are liable to be more audaciously robbed than even English Publishers are by the transatlantic corsairs of New York and Philadelphia, owing to the short distance with intervenes between Belgium and France, allowing the reproduction of a work of many hundred pages within the limited space of 24 hours after its first publication, a novel means of defending their rights has been adopted. It is the simultaneous distribution of the work throughout that piratical kingdom, at a price against which the "braves Belges" cannot possibly compete; for even if they do not pay the Author they must be at the cost of composing the types-an expense which the legitimate Proprietors of the French text are enabled to economise by making the same composition serve for printing the editions disposed of in both countries. In England the rights of the Author and the Proprietors will be maintained by certain passages (as essential to the work as the Prince of Denmark to the play of Hamlet) being originally written by the author in the English language. Priority of publication will take place in this country, so that the circulation of any other English version, professing to retranslate from the French edition the facts and opinions substantially comprised in the passages above alluded to, may be at once restrained. Finally, in maintaining a right heretofore disputed, the first effort is not devoted to a work of minor import, awakening no curiosity, but to the labours of a great writer commanding extensive admiration and sympathy:-it is towards the last production of the Historian of the "GIRONDISTS" that your co-operation and support are solicited.

This Ink possesses the property of keeping the Roller in good working order, so as never to loose the grip. It distributes freely-works sharp and clean-washes easily off the types-dries readily on paper, and sets off but little. Colour deep and permanent, never changing to the brown.
