Under what rights statement does the archive hold The Bay State Monthly, Volume 1, Issue 1?

This answer was composed from the records listed beneath it, and from nothing else. Every statement carries the identifier of the record that supports it; every identifier was verified against the retrieved set before this page existed; and the records are named so the answer can be checked against them.

Under this rights determination, in the source's own words: “Public domain in the USA.” The archive reads that as Public domain in the USA. urn:lemay:boston:document:the-bay-state-monthly-volume-1-issue-1

The determination is the one the source publishes for this item rather than for its collection, and the source publishes it at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20194.rdf, so a reader can check it there. urn:lemay:boston:document:the-bay-state-monthly-volume-1-issue-1
