+
+Statute of Anne: Preparer's Notes
+
+Created from various public domain versions.
+
+
+Repetition of last words on pages eliminated,
+Latin intro and extro translated into English.
+End of line hyphenations removed for searching.
+Typo of "peny" for "penny" has been corrected,
+with the elimination of the accompanying sic.
+Also "seasonable" replaced by "reasonable" with
+the removal of that sic, as well. "Queens" is
+replaced with "queen's", and "majesties" would
+become "majesty's", "entred" becomes "entered"
+and these typos were often in multiple places.
+
+"Vice-Chancellors" and "Vice Chancellors" both
+appeared so I chose "Vice Chancellors" just to
+make searches more simple.
+
+I have not changed any of the apparently quite
+random capitalizations [random in comparisons,
+I should say to German, etc.], nor changed any
+of the more different spellings, as inhaunced.
+
+I would like to comment just how obvious it is
+that the rights of the authors was an "add on"
+to this document, taking place only on a sixth
+sheet containing only two small paragraphs, as
+this makes it even more obvious just how every
+right was originally for "The Stationers," who
+are now descended as by The World Intellectual
+Property Organization through various means.
+
+This law was proposed and defeated 250 years--
+from its first draft by The Stationers just as
+The Gutenberg Press got going to this period.
+
+All monarchs, and Oliver Cromwell, refused it,
+on grounds it gave too much to The Stationers,
+and left too little to the public, as per:
+
+Henry VI 1 Sep 1422 4 Mar 1461
+Edward IV 4 Mar 1461 9 Apr 1483
+[Henry VI - restored 9 Oct 1470 to c. Apr 1471]
+Edward V 9 Apr 1483 25 Jun 1483
+Richard III 26 Jun 1483 22 Aug 1485
+Henry VII 22 Aug 1485 21 Apr 1509
+Henry VIII 22 Apr 1509 28 Jan 1547
+Edward VI 28 Jan 1547 6 Jul 1553
+Mary 6 Jul 1553 24 Jul 1554
+Philip & Mary 25 Jul 1554 17 Nov 1558
+Elizabeth I 17 Nov 1558 24 Mar 1603
+James I 24 Mar 1603 27 Mar 1625
+Charles I 27 Mar 1625 30 Jan 1649
+Commonwealth 30 Jan 1649 29 May 1660
+Charles II [30 Jan 1649] 6 Feb 1685
+James II 6 Feb 1685 11 Dec 1688
+William & Mary 13 Feb 1689 8 Mar 1702
+ [Mary died 27 Dec 1694]
+William III 27 Dec 1694 8 Mar 1702
+Anne 8 Mar 1702 1 Aug 1714
+
+
+Please note that this 250 year span included reigns
+from the son of Henry V of Shakespearian fame and a
+greater Shakespearian epic of Richard III, to those
+six wives of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scots, and a
+host of the most turbulent reigns of UK history and
+in all this time not one of these rulers would give
+The Stationers such great power that has now passed
+down, not only unchecked, but greatly enhanced over
+the next 300 years. The average copyright moved to
+about 100 years in length in that time from 15 year
+average original terms [nearly none were renewed].
+
+My own words are mine alone, though I appreciate it
+when people offer corrections, advice, etc., though
+I don't always take it. However, I do always offer
+to publish their own version along with mine.

+Proprietor or Proprietors for the Printing or Reprinting of such Book or

+
+An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by Vest-
+ing the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or
+Purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein
+mentioned.
+
+Whereas Printers, Booksellers, and other
+Persons, have of late frequently taken
+the Liberty of Printing, Reprinting,
+and Publishing, or causing to be Print-
+ed, Reprinted, and Published Books,
+and other Writings, without the Con-
+sent of the Authors or Proprietors of
+such Books and Writings, to their
+very great Detriment, and too often
+to the Ruin of them and their Fami-
+lies: For Preventing therefore such
+Practices for the future, and for the
+Encouragement of Learned Men to Compose and Write use-
+ful Books; May it please Your Majesty, that it may be En-
+acted, and be it Enacted by the Queens most Excellent Majesty,
+by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and
+Temporal, and Commons in this present Parliament Assembled,
+and by the Authority of the same, That from and after the
+Tenth Day of April, One thousand seven hundred and ten, the
+Author of any Book or Books already Printed, who hath not
+Transferred to any other the Copy or Copies of such Book or
+Books, Share or Shares thereof, or the Bookseller or Book-
+sellers, Printer or Printers, or other Person or Persons, who
+hath or have Purchased or Acquired the Copy or Copies of any
+Book or Books, in order to Print or Reprint the same, shall
+have the sole Right and Liberty of Printing such Book and
+Books for the Term of One and twenty Years, to Commence
+from the said Tenth Day of April, and no longer; and that
+the Author of any Book or Books already Composed and not
+Printed and Published, or that shall hereafter be Composed, and
+his Assignee, or Assigns, shall have the sole Liberty of Printing
+and Reprinting such Book and Books for the Term of four
+-teen
+
+
+page 2
+
+teen Years, to Commence from the Day of the First Publish-
+ing the same, and no longer; And that if any other Bookseller,
+Printer, or other Person whatsoever, from and after the Tenth
+Day of April, One thousand seven hundred and ten, within the
+times Granted and Limited by this Act, as aforesaid, shall Print,
+Reprint, or Import, or cause to be Printed, Reprinted, or Imported
+any such Book or Books, without the Consent of the Proprietor or
+Proprietors thereof first had and obtained in Writing, Signed
+in the Presence of Two or more Credible Witnesses; or knowing
+the same to be so Printed or Reprinted, without the Consent of
+the Proprietors, shall Sell, Publish, or Expose to Sale, or cause
+to be Sold, Published, or Exposed to Sale, any such Book or
+Books, without such Consent first had and obtained, as afore-
+said, Then such Offender or Offenders shall Forfeit such Book or
+Books, and all and every Sheet or Sheets, being part of such
+Book or Books, to the Proprietor or Proprietors of the Copy
+thereof, who shall forthwith Damask and make Waste-Paper of
+them: And further, That every such Offender or Offenders, shall
+Forfeit One Peny [sic] for every sheet which shall be found in his,
+her, or their Custody, either Printed or Printing, Published or
+Exposed to Sale, contrary to the true intent and meaning of
+this Act, the one Moiety thereof to the Queens [sic] most Excellent
+Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and the other Moiety
+thereof to any Person or Persons that shall Sue for the same,
+to be Recovered in any of Her Majesties [sic] Courts of Record at
+Westminster, by Action of Debt, Bill, Plaint, or Information,
+in which no Wager of Law, Essoign, Privilege, or Protection,
+or more than one Imparlance, shall be allowed.
+
+And whereas many Persons may through Ignorance Offend
+against this Act, unless some Provision be made whereby the Pro-
+perty in every such Book, as is intended by this Act to be Se-
+cured to the proprietor or Proprietors thereof, may be ascertain-
+ed, as likewise the Consent of such Proprietor or Proprietors for the
+Printing or Reprinting of such Book or Books may from time
+to time be known; Be it therefore further Enacted by the Au-
+thority aforesaid, That nothing in this Act contained shall be
+construed to extend to subject any Bookseller, Printer, or other
+Person whatsoever, to the Forfeitures or Penalties therein men-
+tioned, for or by reason of the Printing or Reprinting of any Book
+or Books without such Consent, as aforesaid, unless the Title
+to the Copy of such Book or Books hereafter Published shall,
+before such Publication be Entred [sic], in the Register-Book of the
+Company of Stationers, in such manner as hath been usual,
+which Register-Book shall at all times be kept at the Hall of
+the said Company, and unless such Consent of the Proprietor
+or Proprietors be in like manner Entred [sic], as aforesaid, for every
+of which several Entries, Six Pence shall be Paid, and no

+tries, and for every such Certificate, may take a Fee not exceed-
+ing Six Pence.
+

+pany of Stationers, for the time being shall Refuse or Neglect to
+Register, or make such Entry or Entries, or to give such Cer-
+tificate, being thereunto Required by the Author or Proprietor of
+such Copy or Copies, in the Presence of Two or more Credible
+Witnesses, That then such Person and Persons so refusing, No-

+in the Gazette, shall have the like Benefit, as if such Entry or
+Entries, Certificate or Certificates had been duly made and gi-
+ven; and that the Clerks so refusing, shall, for any such Offence,
+Forfeit to the Proprietor of such Copy or Copies the Sum of

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg

+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
