James,

That
is
the
third
edition
you
are
talking
about.
The
first
edition
>>
was
published
in
1922,
in
North
America
by
Charles
Scribner's
Sons,
>>
and
in
Europe
by
T.
&
T.
Clark.
That
means,
the
first
edition
is
>>
out
of
copyright
in
the
USA
(because
it
was
published
in
the
USA
>>
before
1923),
but
in
Europe,
it
may
or
may
not
be
out
of
copyright,
>>
depending
on
when
Dr.
Abbott-Smith
died.
Right
now,
European
>>
copyright
laws
dictate
that
the
expiry
date
on
copyright
for
>>
literary
works
(of
which
the
Abbott-Smith
lexicon
is
a
specimen)
is
>>
year
of
author's
death,
plus
70
years.
So
we
have
a
situation
>>
whereby
the
first
edition
is
in
the
Public
Domain
in
the
USA,
but
is
>>
probably
still
copyrighted
in
Europe.
