Excerpt from International Copyright: Meeting of Authors and Publishers, at the Rooms of the New York Historical Society, April 9, 1868 and Organization of the International Copyright Association
The members of the Committee, at whose call the meeting, of which the following pages are a record, was convened, were impressed with the unusual significance of what was spoken and read on the occasion. It is not probable that so valuable a presentation of the grounds upon which an International Copyright Law is claimed to be the right of authors and publishers everywhere, will ever again be made. They have accordingly requested the Secretary, Mr. Stedman, to prepare his Report of proceedings, in this form, for publication by the International Copyright Association. It is earnestly hoped that the facts and arguments here printed will obtain the attention, not only of journalists and speakers who make public opinion, but of the national representatives at Washington, by whose act alone can the United States be set right upon the question before the world.
