Booksellers, Publishers, and Binders' Argument for International Copyright Law

This three-page pamphlet is a congressional document (Doc. No. 10) from the 28th Congress, 1st Session, dated December 16, 1843. It presents the arguments of booksellers, publishers, and binders in favor of international copyright law. The document lists numerous booksellers, publishers, and binders from major cities across the United States. Of particular note is the inclusion of Samuel Hart Sr. (1805-1896) of Charleston, South Carolina, a prominent figure in the Jewish community, among the signatories. Notably, Samuel Hart (1810-1885) of Philadelphia did not sign the memorial.
