John,

Thanks for the link. That's the world that I grew up in (but not quite that far back).

Thank you, John! I just downloaded the files from http://www.gutenberg.org/ where it is available in several different formats.

I have dreamed that something like this book might exist somewhere, but have not found it before. It looks as though it will be a real treasure.

I too have downloaded this book. It'll make for some interesting reading.
Thanks for the heads up and link.
