I (Liam Quin) have made this online edition using a combination of OCR and hand editing where necessary.
The text was published in 1888; not all the terms have the same (or even similar) meanings today.
You are welcome to link to these pages, but I would advise against copying the text onto places like Wikipedia unless you add a clear explanation of the source.
