Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to get hold of a copy of the *text* of the Sampson Low
English translation of _Will of an Eccentric_ (I don't believe that
the translator is known?)

I'm sure that the translation is poor; I want to use it as an example
of translation problems, not rely on it for much else. Unfortunately,
physical copies of the Sampson Low edition appear very difficult to
come by -- with prices as high as $US 5000 per copy (!). I've trolled
around on the Internet looking for the translation in .txt or .pdf
format, without luck.

Can anyone here point me to a source?

TH
