TE./. DICKENS STAMP.
[To THE EDITOR OP SHE "BriccrAmov.."1 Sra,—In my letter to you on the above subject last week I assumed that the generous action of Messrs. Chapman and Hall, Dickens's authorised publishers, in placing the Dickens stamp in all volumes of their " Centenary Edition," was already well known to the public. Their example, I may also recall, was followed by the Caxton Publishing Company.
:rn applauding the decision of Messrs. Macmillan to insert the copyright stamp in "every volume of every edition issued by them during the hundredth year of the novelist," I did not therefore mean to disparage Messrs. Chapman and Hall's liberality, but only
to point out the much wider bearing of Messrs. Macmillan's action in making no distinction as to the price of the book, but inserting it in all alike. May all other Dickens publishers follow their example 1—I am, Sir, &c., 17-21 Tavistock Street, W.C.
