Please obey the copyright laws of your country. You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland).

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving).
