Google does, give it a try. Looks like you can download it as a pdf for free or buy a copy from AbeBooks.

Looks pretty cool! Old books like that it's nice having a physical copy, even if it's a newer reprint.

Looked it up on google, and it's a very neat old reprinted book...Quality of the reprint is very good, and was mainly curious about who reprinted the 50 copies.

#31 of 50

Might have been a trap collectors group, but not sure.

Looks like even originals are around in the $200 -$300 range, but the ones I found were the later printed 1867 editions.

Holy smokes! Is that actually hand writing or is it printed like that?

Handwriting. Given as gift to someone in 1869. A fairly lengthy note on another page.

Wow that’s crazy! Super awesome find. I looked for an older copy and there’s just newer reprints from the 2000s.

Might check with the Gutenberg project. They have a lot of old books that are in the public domain on their website.

I wish it were the original 1865 first edition. I have been looking for a few years and only found one original which was not complete. I would pay $1000 for an original, complete and in decent condition.

I think those are all free Ebooks. Tons of stuff on that site, old and newer.
