Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: uk_1842a Full title J.J. Lowndes, An Historical Sketch of the Law of Copyright 2nd ed. (London: Saunders and Benning, 1842) Full title original language N/A Abstract The first British treatise dedicated specifically to the history of copyright law. The second edition was published in the same year as the passage of the Copyright Amendment Act 1842 (see: uk_1842) (which edition is reproduced within this archive) and was dedicated to the Sergeant Thomas Noon Talfourd, the driving force behind the 1842 Act, 'for his generous advocacy of the rights of authors'. Lowndes was a strong proponent of the natural rights of the author and his historical account reflects as much. The second edition is also notable in terms of drawing comparisons with various continental models of copyright protection in advocating a longer term of protection for literary works within the UK.
