Please note that these PDFs (Acrobat 7+)
1. are scans of the original editions. They are facsimiles.
2. are copyright protected. You can search and print pages, but you cannot edit the issue, e.g you cannot extract individual pages or photographs. If you wish to share an individual article please contact the author(s) for permission.
3. are scanned in high resolution in order to produce a better quality, both for online reading and printing. The file sizes are therefore between 25MB and 40MB.
