The first related decision was in Gyles v Wilcox in 1740, which ruled that an abridgment of a book (which requires editorial decisions, education, and judgment) was not infringing. This "fair abridgment" idea carried forward into the various "fair dealing" and "fair use" laws around the world.
In the US, it is generally traced to an 1841 decision in Folsom v Marsh. Although it was widely accepted as common law, it wasn't included in the copyright act until 1976.
