Some day, it is to be hoped, we may look for a book of lyrics from Mrs. Florence Earle Coates, whose store of music increases with each month's magazines.[1] Where there is so much sweetness in single notes, there must needs be an unusual charm in a complete opus. [The Literary World, 26 March 1892; p. 109.] |

I am unable to see why copyright should not be perpetual. Property in thought is as real as property in land or money. I once discussed the subject with a company of smart criminals within prison walls. They denied that the fruits of the mind were ever real property, but they brought forward no satisfactory argument to substantiate their denial. [Mrs. Coates on perpetual copyright (The Literary Digest, 2 Dec 1899).] |
