I photographed this book in the rare book department at the McLaughlin library at the University of Guelph. With my own letter sized scanner it would have been impossible to scan these 2 volumes so the only real option was to use my digital camera.  I am satisfied that the pages are all readable but not the kind of quality I would have preferred. There are many illustrations of a really unique nature in both these books.

I had some problems deciding how to present this book as to make this readable the pages needed to be at least 1000 pixels in width. I am thus doing one web page for each volume and presenting them as thumbnails on the page so I hope you'll find this reasonably easy to read. At the top of each page you'll also find a link to download a .pdf file of the whole volume which I created from the images I took of the pages. (Note: I have since found a better scanned copy which I've also made available and have marked them as "A more recent scan of this volume".
