There's a better source for these; check the Midhnott Sol web site,
http://www.midhnottsol.org/zoega
They have them converted to gifs, which more browsers can handle, and
indexed by what letter range is on each page.

Unfortunately, they also have them embedded in a wrapper that displays
illegibly on netscape (it's fine on Internet Explorer); if you have
this problem, you can get at the gifs directly at
http://www.midhnottsol.org/zoega/gifs/
The direct path also makes them much easier to print, as you don't get
a menu column printing on the left side of each page, and the total page
therefore being too wide for standard printer paper.
