And if you can't get this to cooperate, just use Google Books since these editions are lifted out of Google.

The blogger notes "but I’m fairly certain that, as of the date of this post, it includes nearly every full-view 18th century English cookbook available free on Google Books. I’m still refining my early 19th century collection." 
Another interesting collection is the one at Michigan State has assembled of important American works
