I found a music book with an 1895 copyright notice. Are all the songs public domain?

Copyright and Public Domain Music
Most likely yes. Carefully check both sides of the title page of the book. If it is an original book and 1895 is the only copyright notice on either side of the title page, all the music (and the book itself) are in the public domain in the US and probably the entire world. Errors are often made when someone finds an 1895 date somewhere in a book and looks no further.
