Changes to the text

  • The source's header, licence, footer and production credits were removed.
  • Line breaks inside paragraphs were joined; paragraphs and short-line blocks such as contents lists were kept.
  • Underscores marking italics were removed.
  • Extra spaces were collapsed.
  • No illustrations were imported; captions stay as text.

Rights

  • First published before 1931: public domain in the United States.
  • The author died before 1956: out of copyright where protection lasts the author's life plus 70 years.

Public domain in the United States (first published 1843); the author died in 1870, so also out of copyright where protection lasts the author's life plus 70 years. Not reviewed country by country beyond that.

Text only. The source's licence, trademark and boilerplate are removed, so the archive does not use the source's name as a mark; the source is cited as provenance.
