     2. The act of congress securing to authors a copyright passed February 3, 1831, sect. 9, protects authors in their manuscripts, and renders any person who shall unlawfully publish a manuscript liable to an action, and authorizes the courts to enjoin the publisher. See Copyright. The right of the author, to his manuscripts, at common law, cannot be contested. 4 Burr. 2396; 2 Eden, Ch. R. 329; 2 Story, R. 100; 2 Atk. 342; Ambl. 694; 2 B. & A. 290; 2 Story, Eq.

These rights will be considered as abandoned if the author publishes his manuscripts, without securing the copyright under the acts of congress. See Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.; Copyright.

To dream that you are writing a manuscript, signifies fears in not accomplishing your greatest desires. To dream that your manuscript is rejected by a publisher, denotes that you will experience temporary hopelessness. Once you overcome this period, your hopes will eventually be realized. To dream that a manuscript is on fire, signifies that your own hard work will result in profit and a rise in the social ladder.Aldine, Aldine book, Elzevir, Elzevir book, article, autograph, autographic, autography, brainchild, calligraphic, calligraphy, chirographic, chirography, codex, composed matter, computer printout, cradle book, cursive, dead matter, document, draft, early edition, edited version, engrossed, engrossment, essay, fair copy, fiction, final draft, finished version, first draft, first edition, fist, flimsy, flowing, graphanalysis, graphic, graphoanalytic, graphologic, graphology, graphometric, graphometry, hand, handwriting, holograph, holographic, in longhand, in shorthand, in writing, incunabulum, inscribed, italic, italicized, letter, literae scriptae, literary artefact, literary production, literature, live matter, longhand, lucubration, matter, nonfiction, on paper, opus, original, paleography, parchment, penciled, pencraft, penmanship, penned, penscript, piece, piece of writing, play, poem, printed, printed matter, printout, production, rare book, reading matter, recension, running, screed, scrip, script, scription, scriptorial, scriptural, scrive, scroll, second draft, shorthand, standing matter, stylographic, stylography, the written word, transcript, transcription, typescript, version, written
