The author traces, from the scattered references in the literature of the period (from ancient times to the fall of the Roman Empire), an outline record of the continuity of literary activity, the methods of production and distribution of literature, and the nature of the relations between authors and their readers. An interesting part of the discussion covers the development of intellectual property law and the beginnings of literary property.

Excerpt from Authors and Their Public in Ancient Times: A Sketch of Literary Conditions and of the Relations With the Public of Literary Producers, From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Roman Empire Property of this kind, namely, in the form of a right, duly recognized by the State, to the control of an intellectual production, assuredly did not exist in Athens, in Alexandria, or in classic Rome. There is evidence, however, although often of a very frag mentary and inconclusive character, that in these cities and in other literary centres of the later classic world, there gradually came into existence a system or a practice under which authors secured some compensation for their labors.
