(Nr. 1090) Ministerial Declaration of 11th September, 1827, on the agreement made with
                              Hanover, regarding the protection of the rights of authors and publishers
                              in both States against the reprinting of books.

The Royal Prussian Ministry for Foreign Affairs hereby declares, in
accordance with the authorization it has received from His Majesty:
      since the Royal British and Hanoverian Government has given the
      assurance, that for the time being and until, in accordance with
      Art. 18 of the German Federal Act, a mutual Federal Resolution for
      the protection of the rights of authors and publishers against the
      reprinting of books has been passed, those legal provisions which
      are currently in force in the Royal Hanoverian lands for the benefit
      of native authors and publishers are to be also declared fully
      valid for the protection of authors and publishers who are subjects
      of the Prussian Crown and put into application,
that the prohibition against the reprinting of books, such as it is already in force
in the whole territory of the Prussian Kingdom, for the protection of native
authors and publishers, in accordance with the laws that are in place in its
various Provinces, is also to apply to the authors and publishers of the Kingdom
of Hanover, so that, consequently, every offence committed against the latter
by reprinting or the circulation of reprints is to be judged and punished according
to the same legal regulations, as if the injured parties happened to be authors or
publishers from the Prussian lands.
      The present Declaration is, once it has been exchanged for an equivalent
Declaration, ratified by the Royal British and Hanoverian Cabinet of Ministers,
to come into force and effect by promulgation in these States on 1st November
of the current year 1827.
      Berlin, 11th September, 1827.
                                                 (Seal)

Royal Prussian Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
                  von Schönberg.
______________

      The present Ministerial Declaration is, after having been exchanged for an
equivalent Declaration, ratified by the Royal British and Hanoverian Cabinet of
Ministers on 7th September, 1827, hereby brought to the attention of the public, in
accordance with the Supreme Cabinet Order of 16th August, 1827.
      Berlin, 27th September, 1827.

            Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
                                    von Schönberg.
