Hi Chad, Thank you for recording this selection by Nietzsche, translated by H. L. Mencken (1880-1956), which is available on Gutenberg. Gutenberg certifies that, for citizens of the United States, this work is in the public domain. Here is a good summary of U.S. copyright law from the U.S. Library of Congress blog:

Gutenberg also states that persons living outside the United States must abide by the laws of the country where they live:
"The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
States."
You, if I remember correctly from what you state on some of your recordings, reside in Northern Ireland, which has different copyright laws than the United States. Here is a reference source on UK Copyright Law:
https://copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/uk_law_summary. This source states that
"For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works
70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies, or the work is made available to the public, by authorized performance, broadcast, exhibition, etc."
I am not a lawyer, but my lay person's conclusion is that it would not be technically legal for someone living in the UK to record this selection for LibriVox at this time. To be doubly sure, I will run your question by our metacoordinator, knotyouraveragejo. For the present, I am putting your contribution "on hold."
It makes a good companion piece with Justice Harlan's Dissent for vol. 076
