From what I remember reading once, there was a period of time in the early 1900's when the copyright date was not required to be listed in books. I'm trying to find more information about that, but I'm having a hard time finding anything.

It may have been intended to be donated to the public domain, or the date may simply be missing. The national library of the country in which it was first published likely has more information in its database. It is generally safest to assume it's protected unless proven otherwise.

If a separate publication date is not specified, it can be assumed that it's the same as the copyright date.
