With a new introduction by Ronan Deazley Professor of Law University of Glasgow. First Edition of A Standard Book on the Law of Copyright Reprint of the first edition. A standard book on the law of copyright was published by W.A. Copinger [1847-1910] in 1870. It deals very fully with the history and the statute law as to literary copyright; as to Crown and university and college copyright; as to musical dramatic and artistic copyright and copyright in designs; as to international copyright and copyright in foreign countries; and as to agreements between authors and publishers. The merits of the book are proved by the fact that is reached a ninth edition in 1958. --William S.
