No man—no human, masculine, natural man—ever sells a book. Men have been known in moments of thoughtlessness, or compelled by temporary necessity, to rob, to equivocate, to do murder, to commit what they should not, to "wince and relent and refrain" from what they should: these things, howbeit regrettable, are common to humanity, and may happen to any of us. But amateur bookselling is foul and unnatural; and it is noteworthy that our language, so capable of particularity, contains no distinctive name for the crime. Fortunately it is hardly known to exist: the face of the public being set against it as a flint—and the trade giving such wretched prices.

Via BoingBoing, Project Gutenberg has several versions of this book available. It's a pretty hefty download, until you realize it is 345 pages long (a kid's book?) and the files include beautiful scans of the original maps and illustrations. Looks like fun! Also of interest: It takes place in the "wilds" of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. I've actually camped in some of these locations.
