June 24 Wednesday – According to his June 25 to Rogers, Sam arranged with Collier’s and Harpers for Collier to publish a set of Mark Twain’s works. Collier was to sell in sets only and only by subscription; Harper was to sell to the trade only, not in sets or by subscription, and no volume was to sell for less than $1.50. See June 25 to Rogers for more details.
Sam’s notebook: “APHOR / Spanish proverb quoted in Gwynne’s ‘The Pagan at the Shrine’: ‘Whom God loves, his bitch litters sucking pigs.’ / [Horiz. Line separator] / Only one thing is impossible with God: to find any sense in any copyright law on the planet” [NB 46 TS 19; Gribben 646 in part].
