Now that is annoying, the earliest version I found on that site was from 1914 - and it's the one I'm proofing against.

I did mention I had crappy searching abilities, this just proves it. I was on the site with one from the year of publication and didn't even notice it. I'll use this version and go over the book for one last proofing before posting it here. That one also has illustrations in it, I'll do some checking on them, but suspect they will most likely be safe to include as well.

Thanks pdurrant, for this and also with Webster's dictionary, any books by American authors from around 1828 and upwards that I can't find an early enough version of the text, I'll probably consider it as being American English now.
