I know how much time and effort these projects take (a lot), and don't
particularly care for the legal and marketing aspects. I did send a note
to Dover about the book in question though.

And these folks (Dover) are in the business, would know if they could
legally reprint the book, etc. This book was originally printed in England.
So it would probably be a good idea to be familiar with various nation's
laws on such things (which I am not).

I have a 1778 book which says: "This book having been entered at
Stationer's Hall, according to an Act of Parliament, who-ever shall presume
to print or vend a pirated edition, shall be prosecuted according to law.
The proprietor has already obtained an injunction against nine persons, for
printing or selling pirated editions."

Then I have a 1879 book which says: "Entered, according to Act of Congress,
in the year 1857 by Henry F. Anners, in the Clerk's Office of the District
Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Then other old books which just say "All rights reserved".

And all newer books saying "Copyright".
