Ought we not to requite such a poet in some degree for the injustice of our boy hood? For these works which are now insensibly quoted by our most popular writers, the spirit of which now mingles with our intellectual atmosphere, he probably has not received through the long life he has devoted to his art, until lately, as much as the same labour, with moderate talent, might justly produce in a year of moderate industry. Shall the law, whose term has been amply sufficient to his scorners-which has protected them-now afford him no protection, because he has outlasted their scoffs; because his fame has been fostered amidst the storms, and is now the growth of years?

I do not in truth ask for literature favour; I do not ask for it charity; I do not even appeal to gratitude in its behalf; but I ask for it a portion, and but a portion, of that common justice which the coarsest industry obtains for its natural reward, and which nothing but the very extent of its claims, and the nobleness of the associations to which they are akin, have prevented it from receiving from our laws.

There is only one other consideration to which I will advert, as connected with this subject-the expedience and justice of acknowleding the rights of foreigners to copyright in this country, and of claiming it for ourselves in return. If at this time it were The honourable and learned gentleman then clear that our law afforded no protection to moved for leave to bring in a bill "to consolidate foreigners, first publishing in other countries, and amend the laws relating to property in the there would be great difficulty in dealing with nature of copyright in books, musical composithis question for ourselves, and we might feel tions, acted dramas, pictures, and engravings; bound to leave it to negotiation, to give and to to provide remedies for the violation thereof, obtain reciprocal benefits.
