Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The copies which were given to the members of the committee on ceremonies and to a so-called ‘Literary Committee’ were delivered to them solely to enable them to decide whether the poem was one suitable and worthy of their acceptance as the ode to be delivered at the opening exercises. Such a delivery of copies of a literary production is not a publication, and could not prejudice the owner’s common-law rights. Bartlette v. Crittenden, 4 McLean, 300 , Fed. Cas. No. 1,082; Bartlett v. Crittenden, 5 McLean, 32 , Fed. Cas. No. 1,076.””
