Garmt, In the USA, tho I'm less sure of Europe, if you reprint a public
domain text that gives you no rights over it. Only accompanying material
could be copyrighted, ie introduction, illustrations, unusual
typesestting, etc. Whatever possible rights to the JV writing would stem
from the original publication, not L'Herne. Brian
