Samuel Squire Sprigge (1860-1937) was a qualified physician who
worked for The Lancet from 1892 and was editor from 1909 until his
death. He published several books including a history of the
journal and its founder, and a volume of essays, Physic and
Fiction. The Methods of Publishing first appeared in 1890 and is
Sprigge's passionate contribution to the late-nineteenth-century
discussion on how the question of literary property is best
resolved. Sprigge argues that this matter is often treated in a
cavalier manner that disadvantages authors, particularly in the
relationship between publisher and author. In his view, book prices
are too low, copyright protection for authors is insufficient, the
royalty system is in chaos, and authors do not obtain a fair share
of profits. He proposes that literary property questions be treated
with the same legal formality and protection as is found in other
business dealings.
