I still have to compile volume 2 of Isabella Bird Bishop's book, "Korea and 
Her Neighbours".  However, I put up the OCR version of volume 1: 
http://www.shinmiyangyo.org/IBB1.doc   Again, there will be minor glitches 
in it, but not too many.  The romanization in the book was her own and not 
typos.
