From the PG FAQ:

        C.19. I have a 1990 reprint of an 1831 original. Is it
        eligible?

        Yes, as long as we can show that it is a reprint, which usually
        means that it has to say that it's a reprint somewhere on
        the TP&V.

        However, we need to be very careful in a case like
        this. Commonly, the book itself is eligible, but introductions,
        indexes, footnotes, glossaries, commentaries and other such
        extras may have been added by the modern publisher, so you
        should not include them except where you can prove that they
        are part of the reprinted material.

First verify that the book is not on the In-Progress List at
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html .  (The Mackay
book is not.)  The proper way to start the process is to scan
the title page and its verso (opposite side), and use the form
at http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html to submit them for copyright
clearance.  Once that comes through (by email), follow the directions
at http://www.pgdp.net/c/faq/scan/submitting.php .
