I've stumbled upon a Wikisource version of Tolstoy's "A confession," but I haven't been able to find a pdf that matches the etext, which has some formatting issues.

Apparently the translation is by Aylmer Maude (1858–1938), but for some odd reason, Google Books doesn't offer the book for download, presumably because the US copyright of the translation has been renewed.

I've got two questions:

1. Does anybody know where I could find a Public Domain pdf of the Aylmer Maude translation of Tolstoy's "A confession?"

2. Would I be able to upload Aylmer Maude translations to MR or would they be automatically moved to the Offline forum?
