Copyright Declaration

We are delighted to report a generous response from the families and estates of letter authors
to our requests for permission to include their works in our publications. We are particularly
grateful to the Darwin family for permission to publish the texts of all letters written by
Charles Darwin, and for their great generosity in making material available.

We have done our utmost to ensure that we have not made any omissions or given improper or
erroneous information concerning the source of included literary or other works. We understand
that in copyright law the creators of literary and other works have a right to be identified as
such and to benefit from the use of their works and we understand that those rights are extended
for a period to their families and estates.

We welcome any information that might lead us to make proper attributions, identify copyright
owners, or correct copyright acknowledgements in our publications. We would be most grateful to
those who assist us toward these goals. Please contact:
