The funniest thing is that the very same digitization is still available on Google Book Search (just downloaded the PDF version) and the same title is available on dozens of records at the HathiTrust consortium [1].

Are some volunteers of Internet Archive lazy to research basic things on copyright as some of the volunteers of Wikimedia Commons?

If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to convert this file to djvu and upload to the Wikimedia Commons using my local copy of ABBYY.

Seriously, a takedown for a 1870 book by an author died in 1902?
