from his other work, including the fovernment work, he was compelled to hand over the work to a young and not so experienced an assistant. Something has I understand been said about my having been offered a

proof-reader but that I refused and did the work myself. This is the Bort of nonsense that a person who knows nothing of printing will be- lieve. I have also heard it said that the mistake I made was in not en- gaging a proof-reader, This is equally meaningless. Part of the prin- ting contract is that proofs should be first sent in to the author in

carefully corrected galleys, that is, proofs free of the hundreds of mistakes which occur in a first proof. Then the authorf's work begins, and he has "revises" sent to him until he is satisfied that the correc-

tions still to be made are so slight and so simple that the printing-

house may be trusted to make them properly. It is then the duty of the

printer to see that they are made. Lastly, although the author natu- rally looks after pure typography, that is, head-lines, leads, style of type, etc. it is specially the printer's duty to see that they are

accurate. The author has too much in his head to be responsible for

what is purely printing work. If by now I have not made the matter

plain the Goverment will very soon learn it all when they come to do

the reprinting themselves.

The next point I have to refer to is the nature of the work which

had to be done. In addition to the revision work pure and simple there

was the amendment and overhauling of the Ordinances, which involved

endless correspondence with the different Bepartments concerned through

the Colonial Secretary. There was a sheaf of minutes going backwards

and forwards almost every day. To this was added the despatches of the

Secretary of State in connection with the revision legislation. In ad-

dition thee were the complicated Revision Ordinances to be kept up to

date, and the proofs of these to be corrected and verified. All this

kulte apart from the Chronological Table, the Index, and the compila-

tion of the third Volume. Owing to the fact that the Merchant Shipping

prdinance of last year had to be held back it was impossible to work

Consecutively, and very often on the same day I would have to correct three different sets of proofs of Volume I, and three sets of Volume

, and perhaps one set of Volume III; an unnecessary complication

ich would not have occurred if Volume I could have been completed traight away.
