The Anatomy of Copyright Law in Scotland before 1710 Alastair J Mann Beginning of the end - the end of the beginning In 1707, when Scotland joined with England in parliamentary union, a partnership was joined both political and economic. Setting aside a few temporary taxation exemptions for Scotland, economic union with England meant a shared currency, common weights and measures and standardised customs and duties, but more significantly, as confirmed in article IV of the Treaty of Union, ‘full freedom and intercourse of trade’.1 Scotland had helped create the largest free trade area in western Christendom. While one of the temporary exemptions agreed for Scotland was from English duties on stamped paper, a brief advantage for the book trade in the north, the regulation of that trade and of copyright was unmentioned; by omission, the status quo ante would prevail. Given the depredations of Anglo-Scottish copyright litigation from Tonson v. Walker in 1739 to the more ‘infamous’ Donaldson v. Becket in 1774 perhaps it is as well that such a topic was set aside.2 Such controversy might 1 K.M.
