C UR RENT LITERATURE.

We have received a letter from Messrs. Trubner and Co. denying absolutely that Messrs. Sampson Low, Son, and Co. are the agents for Mr. Grant White's Lift of Shakespeare. Very good. Each firm claims the work, and if them were a decent Copyright Act it would belong to one of them. As it is, it seems to belong to neither, a fact which, we hope, will coerce Mr. Grant White into lecturing Congress into decency. There is no question that the copy we reteived belonged to Messrs. Trobaer and Co.
