Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 29: January-June, 1897The campaign plagiarist, in the magazines and out, worked generally on the same model, he combined in an article on some phase of the burning questions of the day extracts, without credit or quotation marks, from speeches, essays, edito rials, statistics, and campaign literature, under one head and signed his name to the pot-pourri as the veritable author. He did it skilfully, therefore he was excused with a smile. Again he was within the Byronic definition.Plagiarism, to be sure, is branded of old, but is never criminal except when done in a clumsy way, like stealing among the Spartans.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
