You should get in contact with Greg Weeks from Project Gutenberg. He can tell you for sure if the book is public domain or not.

If the book has been published before 1923 then it is safely in the public domain. If not it probably needed copyright renewal.
I checked in this database
http://collections.stanford.edu/copy...e?forward=home which tells us that the book may have its copyright not been renewed. This does not mean it is out of copyright. It means that more digging is needed.
