I haven't seen this commented on elsewhere, but while (I gather) Google
Print is providing the full text of works published since 1923 to visitors
from the USA, those from other countries aren't as fortunate. As far as I
can see from the UK, a cut-off date of 140 years is being applied, so the
full text is available only for works published before 1865!
For those in the UK and elsewhere who are having trouble viewing
out-of-copyright material because of Google's over-cautious approach, this
free anonymous proxy service provides a solution to the problem, by hiding
the IP address of the visitor:
