My link goes through a warning page, since I've not yet seen evidence that satisfies me that it's public domain here in the US. If anyone does demonstrate its public domain status here in the US, let me know. (I see that #26659 is still on the Gutenberg site, so maybe someone did and I didn't hear about it. For now, I don't link to this copy, but would be happy to if it were shown to be PD here.) Thanks!
