 Publishers were able to get around this order, however, by re-writing the articles that Scribner's had copyrighted; for example, the "United States" article in Werner's 1902 unlicensed edition was newly written and copyrighted by R.S.Pearle.In 1903, Saalfield Publishing published the "Americanized" Encyclopædia Britannica in 8 volumes with a 4 volume supplement (when the British edition had 24 volumes).
