Arthur William Ryder (March 8, 1877 – March 21, 1938) has been
dead for 80 years. His works, such<br>
as translations, would be PD in Life+70 and Life+50 locales. Try
PG-Australia, PG-Canada, PG-Europe.<br>

Thanks for the help, but it looks like it’s not going to happen.
I’ve been doing a bit more digging and found this: <a
href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/renewals.html"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/renewals.html</a> .
That suggested that if there’s an edition published more than 28
years after the original (which would in this case be 1953) with a
renewal notice it’s game over. Looking on <a
href="http://archive.org" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">archive.org</a> I
found the 9th edition with a copyright of 1956 from the family: <a
href="https://archive.org/stream/in.gov.ignca.2332/2332#page/n6/mode/1up"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://archive.org/stream/in.gov.ignca.2332/2332#page/n6/mode/1up</a> .
I guess that means they renewed it, or even if it doesn’t it makes
it unfeasible for GB without a lot more digging.

If I can find a scanned source for the same, I

<blockquote type="cite" class="">The
Panchatantra is (to quote Wikipedia) "an
ancient Indian work of political philosophy,
in the form of a collection of interrelated
animal fables”. There’s nothing on Gutenberg
but I did find this good quality transcription
on Wikisource: <a
href="https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Panchatantra_%28Purnabhadra%27s_Recension_of_1199_CE%29"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Panchatantra_(Purnabhadra%27s_Recension_of_1199_CE)</a>
(see also <a href="http://archive.org"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">archive.org</a>
scans: <a
href="https://archive.org/details/Panchatantra_Arthur_W_Ryder"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://archive.org/details/Panchatantra_Arthur_W_Ryder</a>
). While this translation was published in the
US in 1925 the wikisource link claims no
copyright was renewed on the text. Sure
enough, a quick search on the Stanford
copyright renewal database doesn’t throw
anything up.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is this something Gutenberg would consider
adding? If I wanted to verify lapse of
copyright is there a more formal process I
could undertake?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks!<br class="">
