My copy identifies the First edition as 1921, the Second Edition as 1923,
and the Third Edition as 1937. It identifies the "latest
reprint" as 1964. I have a T. &T. Clark printing with no
copyright notice.<br>
<br>
My understanding of the old copyright law was 27 years, once renewable,
hence a total of 54 years. This would mean that the copyright of the
third edition would have expired in 1991. <br>

Do you mean a clean copy that could be scanned? Or are you asking
if someone has already done the scanning and has an electronic
copy?<br>
