Even if you are not planning to submit books, reading a FAQ is always the polite thing to do before you enter a conversation.
Steve, the Author of the site soliandearth.org is confident that this book is Public Domain.

At first glance it looks eligible for a Rule 6 clearance, but those are a lot of work.. unless you particularly want that specific book in PG, I would look for something that can be cleared more easily. (I have a Jefferson biography cleared under Rule 6 for the 4th of July at DP.. it took a lot of work both from me and Mr. Newby to clear it. Hopefully the new copyright rules will simplify this process.) R C
