Must Pay For The Books

Must Pay for the Books. 

The reading public in and about Chelsea are warned to buy their books of booksellers or publishers, and leave the book canvassers severely alone. Not many months ago James Williams, a Detroit agent, dilated upon the literary merits of a book called "John Bull, Uncle Jonathan and Johnnie Crapaud." He was successful in disposing of several copies, one to John Rockwell. The book was not up to Rockwell's expectations and he refused payment. Williams sued in circuit court and got a verdict Tuesday night of $2.85. the contract price. This means very likely that other subscribers, too, will have to pay for the book at the same figure.
