[Bell Historians] Tintinnalogia by Echo Library

[Alan Ellis]

Hello Everyone,

Sorry, I should have said that it is in plain English using the original 
language but missing out the long F for an S, etc.

Although I have not checked, I would say that it is copied from the 
Gutenberg web site.

Best wishes

Alan
