What is your concern? Are you worried about being allowed to upload it here? I think that, regardless of our possible disagreement with general policies, most moderators would agree that we can allow this in the library, 120 years after publication looks pretty safe (and we have many other works in similar situations that have already been implicitly approved by others). Are you afraid of being targeted by a lawsuit? The work is PD in the US (published before 1923), I don't know about Japan, but I'd assume it's good too. Are you afraid that MR could be the target of a lawsuit? In the worst case we'd receive a takedown notice, and remove the book; but this is unlikely, the work being PD in the US (and it's from the US these things tend to come from)
