On 17 Dec. 1872 Trollope wrote to Baron Tauchnitz concerning the foreign rights to his works- "Latterly in order that I might avoid the trouble of many bargainings I have sold my novels with all the rights of copyright to the English purchaser' and have, therefore, given over to him the power to do what he pleases as to foreign editions. .. . As to the future I will arrange that the German republication shall be with you" (Verlag Bernhard Tauchnitz, p. 124).
