Target work for republication

I may have a target work for my republication project. Clearly this text is in the public domain and would be relevant to historians. Copies are going for $800American in the collectormarket but I've come across a cheap set on eBay.. I don't think OCR software can handle it so this maybe a typing job for someone unfortunately. I have to see just how it looks before the auction ends. Maybe putting in a bid.
