HE Catalogue of Copyright Entries is published in four parts. Part 1, Group 2,
issued monthly, contains mainly the titles of pamphlets, leaflets, and literary
contributions to periodicals, and all other productions registered under the legal
designation "book" not found in Group 1 (issued weekly), including also, however,
preliminary reports of court decisons, local directories, herd-books, and other annuals,
etc. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author, or, if anonymous, by title.
An asterisk (*) after the author's name indicates that the author and copyright pro-
prietor are the same. When the author and copyright proprietor are different, a sepa-
rate statement is made at the end of the title, giving the proprietor and his address.
Group 2 also contains, in three separate alphabets, the titles for the entries made
in Class "C," Lectures, sermons, addresses, prepared for oral delivery, which are
arranged alphabetically by author; Class "D," Dramatic compositions, arranged
alphabetically by title; and Class "F," Maps, arranged alphabetically by the subject
word of each title.
Under the Act of March 4, 1909, in effect from July 1, 1909, the preliminary entry
of titles has been abrogated and registration follows deposit of copies with an appli-
cation for entry in the Copyright Office.
To save space in the Catalogue the copyright notice after each title is abbreviated.
The abbreviations used in this part are as follows: "A," Class A, Books; “A—
Foreign," Foreign books in foreign languages; "C," Class C, Lectures, sermons,
addresses, prepared for oral delivery; "D," Class D, Dramatic compositions; "F,"
Class F, Maps. “O” implies copyright registration of a published work, followed
by date of publication; " 1 c." stands for copyright of an unpublished work, fol-
lowed by date of receipt in the Copyright Office of the printed or manuscript copy;
and "2 c." for two copies, followed by the date of their receipt. In the case of contri-
butions to periodicals only one copy of the issue or issues containing such contribu-
tion is required. "A ad int." implies ad interim copyright registration, under the
law of March 4, 1909, of a book published abroad in the English language, for which
the deposit of only one copy is required.
A list of the Books, of which the subsisting copyright has been renewed and extended
under Sec. 24 of the Act of March 4, 1909, will be found in Part 1, Group 1.
Each number contains an index of the names of all copyright proprietors; the
names of well-known authors of pamphlets, occasionally the titles of anonymous
pamphlets, and the names of all authors of dramatic compositions. The annual
index, furnished with the December issue, supplies in addition the titles of all
dramas and the subject words of all maps.
The annual subscription price for the Catalogue of Copyright Entries (received
only for the calendar year), for Part 1, Groups 1 and 2, is $1.00 for 1911, payable in
advance to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., by postal money
order, express order, or New York draft.
The Act of March 4, 1909, provides that the Catalogue of Copy-
right Entries" shall be admitted in any court as prima facie evidence
of the facts stated therein as regards any copyright registration."

respecting copyright " provide as follows:

or articles shall be placed in the reserve collections of the Library of
Congress for sale or exchange, or be transferred to other governmental

SEC. 60. That of any articles undisposed of as above provided,
together with all titles and correspondence relating thereto, the

vided, may within their discretion cause the remaining articles and
other things to be destroyed: Provided, That there shall be printed
in the Catalogue of Copyright Entries from February to November,

December of that year anything found which relates to any of his
productions deposited or registered for copyright within the period
of years stated, not reserved or disposed of as provided for in this
act: And provided further, That no manuscript of an unpublished
work shall be destroyed during its term of copyright without specific
notice to the copyright proprietor of record, permitting him to claim
and remove it.
In compliance with the above-cited provisions of law,

tion was made, and, if possible, the number under which such book,
