Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Transcript of the Registers of the Worshipful Company of Stationers, Vol. 1 of 3: From 1640-1708 A. D It is now nearly forty years since the late Professor Arber issued the first volume of his Transcript of the Registers of the Stationers´ Company, the fourth volume of which carries the Transcript down to 1640. These Registers were continued by the Stationers´ Company to 1708. From 1710 a Register of Copyright Works has been continued at Stationers Hall under the provisions of the Copyright Acts of 1710 and 1842, and the well-known phrase,"Entered at Stationers´ Hall," has hitherto been deemed by many the hall-mark of copyright. The new Copyright Act of 1911 has swept away all formalities relating to copyright, and when the Act has been adopted throughout the entire British Empire, registration of copyright at Stationers´ Hall will cease. At no time was the Register complete, for in its inception it was simply a record of the property of members of the Stationers´ Company established by the Governing Body with the object of avoiding disputes as to ownership, and it does not include publications issued under Letters Patent and other Royal grants, but it is the most valuable and extensive record of publications in this country. The entries from 1640 to 1708 vary considerably in their interest to the present generation, and the many pages of entries of news letters and sermons may seem somewhat monotonous.
