If the quotation is fair, aud 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's Com. 121, 5th ed.

"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
ofanother's labors for the promotion of science, and the benefit of the
public." 5 Esp. N. P. C. 170; 1 Campb. 94. See Curt. on Copyr. 242; 3
Myl. & Cr. 737, 738; 17 Ves. 422; 1 Campb. 94; 2 Story, R. 100; 2
Beav. 6, 7; Abridgment; Copyright.
