You're right, Lori--the book isn't listed in the
government copyright office.
There are two editions. I checked the copyright page
that one can "see inside the book" on amazon.com and
there is not copyright except for the introduction. I
also checked the Library of COngress catalog, and
there doesn't seem to be a copyright indication. The
first listing said the book was created by Little,
Brown in 1952 and the second by the University of
Illinois Press in 1998--but no copyright holder was
specifically given.
About all you can do when you're ready to submit it is
to include a copy of the copyright page in the
comments section with a note that you checked the
govenment copyright office and amazon and the LC
catalog and no copyright holder is specified.
