Another Copyright Question

I'm starting a new project that should be in the public domain, having been published in 1886 by Anna Katharine Green. But I've also seen copyrighted versions of it for sale online:

Is this one in the public domain or not?

Thanks,
Chris

The original will be out of copyright. Newer editions may have been edited, incurring a new copyright.

The Gutenberg version is OK to use: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6805

Thanks very much for the quick reply! I am using the gutenberg version.
