It's blocked here - which is completely stupid . But it meant that I was unable to check the scan for you and probably you will only have USA people contributing.

Because one of the authors died in 1961, it's not PD in most countries with "death + 70yrs" copyright protection.
For the US, the first edition is PD. It was published more than 95 years ago, in 1923:

Later editions probably don't have changes that would extend copyright protections, but we don't want to test that theory.

That 1930s edition does say things were added (appendix, etc.) so I concur with redrun that it's safer to go with the 1923 edition.
