Copyright status? edit
To determine whether this is public domain in the UK or not (whether this may be uploaded to Wikipedia) one needs to keep in mind the United Kingdom's copyright law: Life plus 70 years. That means an author who died in 1948 or before would have his or her work PD in the UK. Commons:Commons:International_copyright_quick_reference_guide
- https://archive.org/details/corpsdedroitott01turkgoog/ says that the author was born in 1872. If he lived to 120 (after which we can presume he's dead), he would have died in 1992. Unless I get confirmation of his death, this book may not be uploaded until 1992+70 = 2062.

Minor criticisms from Hogarth edit
Hogarth p. 189:
- "For example, the widest acceptation of 'Asia Minor' does not include the trans-Euphratean country in which Diarbekir lies"
- I'm wondering if he means historic Armenia
- Caesarea (Kayseri) does not include Sis
- "Suk es-Chiouk" is the correct form, instead of "Suk-el-cheik", as composite Arabic names should only have the definite article and the following word hyphened, and because it is actually a plural word
- "Sheiklı ul-Islam" is the correct form, and not "Sheikh-ul-Islam", the latter described as a "common" error
- My note: It must be really common as I see "Sheikh-ul-Islam" frequently
- Criticizes the author for having too much "Gallicism" to the point where he, according to Hogarth, mistakenly uses the name "Lord Roseberry" for Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, a former prime minister of the UK

Public domain in 2023 edit
According to United Kingdom law, published works fall into the public domain seventy (70) years after the death of the author (see Commons:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom). According to Hathi Trust https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/004692481 George Miller died in 1952. 1952 + 70 = 2022. When it turns 2022, on the day of Miller's death, please upload his works to the Wikimedia Commons. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:03, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- As per the Commons it is 2023, not 2022 WhisperToMe (talk) 17:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
