This is the 1912 third edition revised by Ernest Hampden-Cook, not an unchanged 1903 edition. Empty tagged placeholders are excluded; their omitted source addresses are documented.

The rights statement answers a reuse question; it does not remove the need to compare translation choices, textual traditions, book order, and verse numbering. Spirit Nation keeps this edition identified on every chapter.
