“The book was highly interesting, and it is a wonder that some enterprising American publisher has not appropriated it, as the author is now extremely dead.”

Bill Nye’s Comic History of England, Edgar “Bill” Wilson Nye (1850-1896)

I’m sure this was a topical jab from a working author at the actions of publishers at the time, but it was rather funny to be reading it downloaded from Project Gutenberg as an ebook…
