This electronic version was produced from an example of the edition published in 1893. The physical object is in the collection of The University of Iowa Libraries under call number 624.16 .N55n. The citation is:

The original text was scanned with an HP Scanjet 3500c at 300 dpi resoluton, 256 level gray scale. The page images were processed using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 to remove color casts and defects.

Each page was saved as a Photoshop PDF file and then as a GIF file for the Web. An ASP page was used to display the images.
