Since I found a Library of Congress date in the Common Sense book, I thought I would check for one in the Home Candy Making book I am questioning. There is an actually copyright date of 1889. The reprint is supposed to be a direct scan of the original rather than a re-typeset edition. To satisfy my morbid OCD, I will find out when copyright came into existence. My research should determine it was between 1871 and 1889. If that is does turn out to be the case, I will have to take the Home Candy Making book as a Victorian source.
Well, there were copyright laws in the US since 1790. So I now have one book that was only registered with the Library of Congress and another that was copyrighted but not registered with the Library of Congress. To hell with this; I want to make candy!
