English Books in Canada
SIR,—If by Chambers' Sixty Logarithm Tables Professor Satterly means Chambers' Six-Figure Mathematical Tables, we emphatically endorse Sir Stanley Unwin's remarks. We were not consulted about the Canadian price; we did not even know the Canadian price; and our power to influence it rests only on our choice of the English published price. As to that, this is a new publication, not a reprint, containing 416 large pages of tables, compiled and produced to the highest editorial standards, and representing at 13s. 6d. unquestionable value. All this does not imply that we have not every confidence in our Toronto agents to fix a price for Canada which takes care of the higher discount to the bookseller to which Sir Stanley Unwin refers, and the iniquitons sales Managing Director,
