The notice of copyright must be applied in the case of a book or other printed publication, upon its title-page or the page immediately following [the back of the title-page], or if a periodical either upon the title-page or upon the first page of text of each separate number or under the title heading, or if a musical work either upon its title-page or the first page of music; but one notice of copyright in each volume or in each number of a newspaper or periodical published is sufficient.
[24] See page 38 for advice about procedure in case of periodicals themselves.
[25] On the following page is given a reduced facsimile of both sides of the Application Blank filled out ready to be sworn to.
[27] No special registration beyond that to secure the American and the English copyright is required in countries with whom the United States has copyright treaties.
[34] A chapter usually begins with a sinkage of one-quarter page from the top, and the last page of a chapter is usually but partially filled with printed matter.
[35] The word "leaded" is used here to indicate a six-to-pica or 2-point lead. See page 62.
[44] When a volume is left with uncut edges it is to be assumed that its binding is of a temporary nature, and that the purchaser will rebind it to suit his taste.
[46] For the form and location of this notice as required by law see page 34.
[47] This is often an important matter in the case of unbound sheets shipped to England, as the "country of origin" must be printed on all such sheets, and the printer's imprint must contain the letters "U.S.A."
[48] These can be purchased at such stores as the Dennison Mfg. Co. at a small price.
[49] This pamphlet is issued by the Government, and copies may be secured from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., at twenty cents a copy.
[50] The British Museum enters British noblemen under the family name. The reasons for entry under the title are that British noblemen are always so spoken of, and always sign by their titles only. The reasons against it are that the founders of noble families are often as well known--sometimes even better--by their family name as by their titles (e.g., _Charles Jenkinson_ afterwards _Lord Liverpool_, _Sir Robert Walpole_, afterwards _Earl of Oxford_); that the same man bears different titles in different parts of his life thus Philip Stanhope published his "History of England from the Peace of Utrecht" as Lord Mahon, and his "Reign of Queen Anne" as Earl Stanhope; that it separates members of the same family (Lord Chancellor Eldon would be under _Eldon_ and his father and all his brothers and sisters under the family name _Scott_), and brings together members of different families (thus the earldom of Bath has been held by members of the families of Shaunde, Bourchier, Granville, and Pulteney, and the family name of the present Marquis of Bath is Thynne), which last argument would be more to the point in planning a family history. The same objections apply to the entry of French noblemen under their titles, about which there can be no hesitation. The strongest argument in favor of the Museum rule is that it is well-established, and that it is desirable that there should be some uniform rule.
