Or substitute Letters of a Traveller by the same author. It is a written description without drawings.

Barnes and Noble has nice ones, even in their bargain section. They have modern photo books, or those with photos from the late 1800s (when Bryant's book was written.) Try looking in the travel, history, and photography sections. (Of course you can buy used to save $.) | William Cullen Bryant |
| 83. | The Diaries of George Washington (Vol. 1) - HTML versions (both with pics) linked below. In RC the The Diaries span 4 volumes. Online they are arranged to span 6 volumes. You will need both Volume 1 and Volume 2 from online to get the equivalent of the RC vol. 1. | George Washington |
| 84. | The Law - This text file has more than just "The Law", so you don't need to print the whole thing. Search the text for the words "monopoly of education". "The Law" begins right after that.

| 95. | The Vicar of Wakefield | Oliver Goldsmith |
| 96. | Economic Sophisms - (Also called "Sophisms of the Protectionists." It has a different title because it was translated by someone else, but it's the same book - I checked.)

Or here's the HTML version that is the exact same translation as RC. The differences in translations do not appear to be significant. The meaning is the same. | Frederic Bastiat |
