In Practice. The allegation of some authority or case, or passage of some law, in support of a position which it is desired to establish. The transcript of a part of a book or waiting from a book or paper into another. If the quotation is fair, and not so extensive as to extract the whole value or the most valuable part of an author, it will not be a violation of the copyright. It is mostly difficult to define what is a fair quotation. When the quotation is unfair, an injunction will lie to restrain the publication. See 17 Ves. 424; 1 Bell, Com. 121. “That part of a work of one author found in another,” observed Lord Ellenborough, “is not of itself piracy, or sufficient to support an action; a man may adopt part of the work of another; he may so make use of another’s labors for the promotion of science and the benefit of the public.” 1 Camp. 94. See Curtis, Copyr. 242; 3 Myl. & C. 737; 17 Ves. 422; Folsom v. Marsh, 2 Sto. 100, Fed. Cas. No. 4,901; 2 Beav. 6; Abridgment; Copyright; Piracy. See Market Quotation; Property.
