This article presents information regarding literary activities. The Chicago "Tribune" of May 24, 1879, exposes the manner in which W.H. Davenport Adams composed the book called "The Secret of Success," which one noticed a fortnight ago. Adams had fallen in with William Mathews's "Getting on in the World," and, deeming himself safe with the ocean between, appropriated some twenty pages of the American work, disguised by verbal alterations and interpolations, and credited, if at all, to an anonymous acute writer or sensible moralist, and only once to Mathews. It appears that the propositions formulated by the International Literary Congress, which assembled at Paris during the exposition last summer, are not to be allowed to rest there.
