Trilby A Novel Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Trilbyana: The Rise and Progress of a Popular Novel Denver, col., April 29. Did da Maurier write Trilby This novel question was propounded to-day in the United States Court in good faith, when the suit of Harper Bros. And A. M. Palmer for an injunction against the Lyceum Stock Company to restrain them from producing Trilby at their theatre was called. The defendants allege that the book entitled 'trilby' was not originated, invented or written by du Maurier. They assert that the original title and book of Trilby' were first published in France in 1820, and afterwards translated and published in Eng lish in 1847, and that the title and book have been common prop etty for seventy-five years. The attorneys for the plaintiffs asked for time to communicate with their clients in New York as to the course they should pursue, and the Court postponed the hearing until Wednesday morning. Should the allegations of the Lyceum Company be true, a sensation will be caused all over the two con tinents. This is the first public intimation of an attack on the authenticity of the work, and if it is successful every company in the world will have as much right to play Trilby' as the Boston organization.
