The curious discovery of an author, who, having a book published, not only refused to have it distributed, but even preserved on the museum shelves, was recently made by the British Museum authorities. There has been one other similar case in fifty years, the authorities state. According to the Copyright Act, of 1842, a copy of every book published in Britain must be deposited in the British Museum. The author of a recent work decided after it had been published that he was dissatisfied with it, and he wanted to destroy all the copies. He even refused to allow the museum its copy of the unwanted work, “The World Shall Miss a Great Tradgedian,” and they were compelled to take action to secure it.
