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.
