Many thanks to Joseph for making this text readily available at archive.org!

Incidentally, while we're talking about scanning, there's a nifty tool called Scan Tailor that can greatly improve the quality of scans.  It's free (as in beer), Open Source (free as in speech), and available ready-compiled for Windows and Linux.  Get your copy here:

• http://scantailor.sourceforge.net/

Scan Tailor can semi-automatically separate scanned book openings into left and right pages; it can recognize the outline of the printed area of the page; it can provide new, clean margins; it can clean up speckles and even do some de-warping.  The results are excellent, though it does take some hand-holding, so one has to invest a bit of time to do a whole book.   But 90% of the work is automatic.  Recommended.

Best,

Dominik
