The Descent of Man

The Descent of Man, first published 1871. Held here as a scanned 1902 edition from the Internet Archive. The scan is the record: it carries the typesetting, the plates and the date on the title page, none of which survive reflowing into plain text.

Period
1871

Rights
Public domain. First published 1871, and the scanned 1902 edition is itself published on or before 1929, so it is out of copyright in the United States. No exception is claimed and none is needed.
