*In The Given Links,All The Pages Are Intact And The Text In Them Are Readable.
*All The Links Are To The Same Edition(1885).
*Other Than The Project Gutenberg Link,The First And Third Links Would Be The Best To Read From.
*I Suggest That This Project Be Completely Undertaken By Or Atleast Have Someone From Italy In A Prominent Role As Some Words In The Text Might Be Well-Pronounced Only By An Italian.
