Papyroplastics
I own a copy of the book. Bought it 20 years ago. It's a gem, however I have never scanned it due to the fragile nature of the spine. It's a wonderful treatise and it was written as a antidote to the "pernicious pastime of reading fiction" that had taken hold of the youth of the 1820s. Its preface says "from the German" but that appears to have been more for marketing purposes that as a statement of fact. A follow-up was written a few years later and it concerns itself with paper modeling architecture. I own that, too, but don't suggest it.
