This one was was already marked for deletion when we go to the new system. For what it's worth, I can no longer find that title among Hamilton's books at Project Gutenberg, either. It may be okay, but if PG removed their copy, there's probably a reason, and given that they appear to have people there who are pretty well up on copyright laws, I don't want to take the chance.
