The Letters: CC BY-NC-ND

The physical letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle are held in many different archives, libraries,
and collections in the United Kingdom and the United States. While the letters are old enough to be
considered in the Public Domain, the transcribed, edited, annotated, and proofread versions presented
in the Carlyle Letters Online are under copyright and published by Duke University Press.
The printed volumes of the Duke-Edinburgh edition of The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle
are available for purchase from the Press.

For editorial protocols and styles for citing online publications such as the CLO, see the appropriate guidelines, e.g.,
the latest editions of The Chicago Manual of Style or The MLA Handbook.

You may re-use and re-publish excerpts and groups of letters without permission if your use falls within
the scope of the CC BY-NC-ND license, or the boundaries of fair use. As you weigh the four factors as laid
out by the U.S. Copyright Office to determine fair use, do keep in mind that each a letter is a separate “work.”

For all other uses, you should request permission from Duke University Press. You may also request TEI XML files
of the letters for research purposes or for re-use in scholarly publications. Write to permissions@dukeupress.edu.

Manuscript Letter Images: CC PD

The Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Duke University, holds the letter images that appear in the CLO.
The Library has released the images to the Public Domain. You may re-use and re-print them free of charge and without
requesting permission, though it is appropriate to cite their source.
