Hannah Milcah Hill Moore,
Miscellanies, Moral and Instructive, in Prose and Verse; Collected from Various Authors: for the Use of Schools, and Improvement of Young Persons of Both Sexes, 1796

These Miscellanies are selections from other authors compiled by Moore into an album. Moore did not include the name of the authors nor the titles of the pieces she included in this volume. This would be labeled plagiarism today, but the practice was not uncommon in the late eighteenth century.

This publication included neither the names of authors nor the titles of any of the excerpts--a form of plagiarism that was accepted as a legitimate way to expand knowledge. Do you see any parallels with the proliferation of hyperlinks and content copying that characterizes the first decades of the Internet?
