Recently, I have been wondering about something, which I believe was covered
by members of this list some time ago. However, at that time, I didn't pay
close attention to the answers. So.. I'm going to ask my question, hoping
someone will direct me to where I can find some information.

If I were to write a history-based manuscript upon which I would put a
copyright, how much material or how many paragraphs could I lift from an
1847 out-of-print book. And, what if some other person also used the same
paragraphs from that same out-of-print book in their manuscript upon which
they also put a copyright.
