Smith Acquiring all Copyrights on Thackeray's Works

Peter L. Shillingsburg, Professor of English, Mississippi State University

Note 38 to Chapter 4 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.

This account derives from unpublished correspondence held by John Murray, publishers, which absorbed the Smith, Elder company in this century.
