LAW RELATING TO LITERARY COPYRIGHT AND THE AUTHORSHIP AND PUBLICATION OF BOOKS BY DANIEL CHAMIER OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER AT LAW 99 66 AUTHOR OF "A MANUAL OF ROMAN LAW, LAW OF LUNACY IN RELATION TO PREFACE. THE Law of Copyright has reference to the various subjects of Literature, Art, Music, and the Drama. It was assumed, when deciding upon the scope of the present work, that of the branches referred to the greater number of questions or matters that come before either the Courts or the profession relate to Copyright in Literature. It was thought, moreover, that other subjects, being closely allied to it (inasmuch as they relate generally to the authorship and publication of books), might conveniently be treated in conjunction with the subject of Literary Copyright. The primary object of this volume has therefore been to collect the law generally relating to the authorship and publication of books, Literary Copyright being treated fully (to the exclusion of other branches of copyright law), but at the same time rather as a portion of the wider general subject than as a main and particular theme. 2 GARDEN COURT, TEMPLE, E.C., |
