NOTICE. THE Proprietors of Circulating Libraries in all parts of the country are compelled, by the New Copyright Act, to discontinue Purchasing and Lending out a Single Copy of a foreign edition of an English Work. The mere having it in their possession, ticketed and marked as a Library Book, exposes them to A PENALTY OF TEN POUNDS. Several clauses of the New Copyright Act award severe punishments for introducing and exposing for sale or hire Pirated Editions of English works, both in Great Britain and in the Colonies. The Government absolutely prohibits the introduction of Foreign Reprints through the Custom-houses, on any pretence whatever. |
