The 1870 Patent and Copyright Act
Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900) has some great resources, but when I want to look at a multi-page pdf I always get frustrated if there is not a “download the whole pdf” option and I have to flip through it page by page online. So, here is An Act to revise, consolidate, and amend the Statutes relating to Patents and Copyrights (Jul. 8, 1870) as a single 20-page pdf.
