Although both bills failed, they led to media pressure that was exacerbated by both Defoe and How. Defoe's "A Review", published on 3 December 1709 and demanding "a Law in the present Parliament ... for the Encouragement of Learning, Arts, and Industry, by securing the Property of Books to the Authors or Editors of them", was followed by How's "Some Thoughts on the Present State of Printing and Bookselling", which hoped that Parliament "might think fit to secure Property in Books by a Law". This was followed by another review by Defoe on 6 December, in which he even went so far as to provide a draft text for the bill. On 12 December, the Stationers submitted yet another petition asking for legislation on the issue, and the House of Commons gave three MPs – Spencer Compton, Craven Peyton and Edward Wortley – permission to form a drafting committee. On 11 January 1710, Wortley introduced this bill, titling it "A Bill for the Encouragement of Learning and for Securing the Property of Copies of Books to the rightful Owners thereof".
