QUOTATION, rights. The transcript of a part of a book or writing from a book
or paper into another.
2. If the quotation is fair, and not so extensive as to extract the
whole value or the most valuable part of an author, it will not be a
violation of the copyright. It is mostly difficult to define what is a fair
quotation. When the quotation is unfair, an injunction will lie to restrain
the publication. See 17 Ves. 424; 1 Bell's Com. 121, 5th ed.
3. "That part of a work of one author found in another," observed Lord
Ellenborough, "is not of itself piracy, or sufficient to support an action;
a man may adopt part of the work of another; he may so make use of another's
labors for the promotion of science, and the benefit of the public." 5 Esp.
N. P. C. 170; 1 Campb. 94. See Curt. on Copyr. 242; 3 Myl. & Cr. 737, 738;

Intent on making his quotation truer,

Then made a solemn vow that we would be
Condemned eternally. Ah, me, ah, me!
Stumpo Gaker
