instead of thirty, years are not too many to protect the folatives of men whose works are still in public favour. The Case of Cosina Wagner la cited as one in which a family fortune has been. last since the copyright-of-Wag ner's works expired in 1918.
The agitation comes from the Prussian Academy of Authors, but there are many volces raised in favour of retaining the thirty yeara' copyright, as sales in cheap editions after it has expired are of inestimable benefit to those hungry for culture who cannot afford the original prices either of books or music. Brahma is one whose copyright expires this upring, and many are waiting for the opportunity of possessing his works who have hitherto, longed- in vain.
