            <rts:ConstraintDescription>This volume was published in Great
              Britain in 1927 by William Heineman (London) with a reference to
              G.P. Putnam's Sons in New York. (The verso of the title page says
              "Printed in Great Britain" and notes that is was originally
              published in 1920 and reprinted in 1927). Because this work was
              published abroad before 1978 without compliance with US Copyright
              formalities and because it entered the public domain in its home
              country as of 1 January 1996, it is now also considered in the
              public domain in the United States without any constraints on use.
