and, as with book privileges, it must announce these registrations at each Easter-
or Michaelmas-fair to the booksellers attending the fair. If requested it must
also provide them with extracts from the register upon payment of charges.
VII.
In order that everything possible be done for the promotion of the book
trade, the booksellers with stalls in the Leipzig fair are free to elect deputies
from their own resources, namely:
a) three Saxon booksellers, of which two should be from Leipzig, and one from another
town of the Electorate,
b) and six from amongst the foreign booksellers who visit the fair from other states
and Imperial free cities in which several publishing houses are located. These are
to look after the common interests of the book trade and for this purpose can lodge
due complaints with the Book Commission. In cases of doubt the Book Commission is
to request the written or oral reports of these deputies and accordingly take them
into account. Generally, though, in all such book matters the Commission is to
proceed without the circumstantiality of a legal trial and without delay, and,
where necessary, it is to promptly submit a report to the Electorate of Saxony's
Church-Committee and await the latter's resolution.
