Excerpt from The Registers of Almer, Co; Dorset, 1538-1812 The Registers of Almer from 1538 to 1812 consist of three volumes. Volume I is of parchment and bound in the same material, and measures 71/2 inches by 101/4 inches. The Baptisms commence in 1538 and run to 1693, pages 1 to 30, where three pages are cut out. Marriages commence in 1538 to 1688, pages 31 to 44, where the bottom of the page is cut off. Burials commence 1538 to 1694, pages 45 to 68. From pages 69 to 71 the entries are mixed and extend from 1695 to about 1702. Pages 72 and 73 are blank, and it would seem that several pages are cut out here. Whether these pages contained the years 1702 to 1730 (which are now missing) it is impossible to say, very likely they did. Volume II is also of parchment, but is bound in calf. It measures 8 inches by 131/2 inches, and contains, pages 1 to 3, Marriages from 1731 to 1753; Baptisms, pages 19 to 44, from 1731 to 1791, continued on pages 4 to 14, from 1792 to 1812; the Burials, pages 45 to 62, from 1731 to 1803, continued on pages 17 and 18, from 1803 to 1812, continued on page 16 for remainder of 1812. Volume III is likewise of parchment, bound in calf, with a label on outside, lettered Almer. It measures 101/2 inches by 131/4 inches, and contains, pages 1 to 13, Marriages, 1754 to 1811. The following notes on the Rectors have kindly been supplied by Rev. Canon Mayo, and supplement the list given in Hutchins' History of Dorset, Vol. III, 496.

What can and can't be copied is a matter of law, but also of aesthetics, culture, and economics. The act of copying, and the creation and transaction of rights relating to it, evokes fundamental notions of communication and censorship, of authorship and ownership - of privilege and property. This volume conceives a new history of copyright law that has its roots in a wide range of norms and practices. The essays reach back to the very material world of craftsmanship and mechanical inventions of Renaissance Italy where, in 1469, the German master printer Johannes of Speyer obtained a five-year exclusive privilege to print in Venice and its dominions. Along the intellectual journey that follows, we encounter John Milton who, in his 1644 Areopagitica speech 'For the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing', accuses the English parliament of having been deceived by the 'fraud of some old patentees and monopolizers in the trade of bookselling' (i.e. the London Stationers' Company). Later revisionary essays investigate the regulation of the printing press in the North American colonies as a provincial and somewhat crude version of European precedents, and how, in the revolutionary France of 1789, the subtle balance that the royal decrees had established between the interests of the author, the bookseller, and the public, was shattered by the abolition of the privilege system. Contributions also address the specific evolution of rights associated with the visual and performing arts. These essays provide essential reading for anybody interested in copyright, intellectual history and current public policy choices in intellectual property.
