And a commenter on this blog says (in 2006) that he is in the process of scanning the lot.
(If this isn’t you, then it might be worth getting in touch with him.)

Here's the blog link:

And here's the comment:

• The book should be in the public domain, if it was copyrighted before 1922. Any Makers out there who have a copy can contribute scans of the pages to Distributed Proofreaders and let the community produce a free, publicly-distributed online version (with fewer typos than regular OCR).
And while you're at it, go and proofread a few pages of 19th Century Scientific American at DP, as well.
Me, I'm scanning and uploading the whole International Library of Technology series, including electrician, automotive repair, masonry and structural engineering texts from the 1900s....Posted by: vaguery on February 26, 2006 at 12:10 PM

The volume on perspective in drawing is available in electronic form here:

(for a fee)

Also Wikisource has a partial copy of the volume on book-keeping.
