It would probably not have been seriously disturbed by the report that the MS. is going to Britain, fe being philosophical bird, it would cer- tainly consider that America, having received “Alice in Wonderland,” had got decidedly the best of the exchange. But it might have found food for speculation in the fact that the owner of what was not the original MS. but merely a copy got ten thousand times more for it than the poet got from the editor who accepted it in 1845 What, then, would the original have fetched? Or, if the poet had not had the fore- thought to make only one copy, but had made several, would four, five, or even six copies have fetched more or less than the solitary exemplar? And at what number would a poet stop in order, granted immortality as a poet, to ensure the greatest possible return to deserv- ing friends who got the copies? It is a ques- tion which some modern poets who are partial to experiment along the same lines with what are known as limited editions might help to answer. One has often wondered if they keep copies themselv with which to try the luck of the market, and how many. Or, having dome s0 once, do they echo the raven’s ‘‘Nevermore” and them all away?
