I've put a 65MB PDF made from photographs of the text here:
http://www.sirwilliamhope.org/Library/Mendoza/Modern_Art.pdf
This is the entirety of the book from which the extracts on the site were taken.

P.S. Still looking forward to Kirk's transcription, though. Obviously you're
spoiling us, Kirk. Or at least me. :D

You're welcome!
I just looked on ECCO and found a couple of books with Mendoza's name on as
author that I'm sure weren't there last time I looked. The boxing text in each
seems to be almost identical to that in the "modern art" text I photographed,
which suggests that the latter is a complete plagiarism of the former.
There are two versions and the difference is that one has a series of letters,
"statements of fact" &c. about Mendoza and Humphries.

It is "Eighteenth Century Collections Online", a resource containing PDF scans
of huge numbers of 18th century books available for personal use only to
subscribers.
http://www.gale.cengage.com/DigitalCollections/products/ecco/index.htm
I have access to this through Oxford University.
Some useful stuff is there but I am not permitted to distribute it on the LSD
site.
Milo.

No worries. I'll still repub it. I appreciate Milo providing
additional scans. Gives me a cross-reference for when my photocopy is
dark or difficult to read.

Unfortunately for me, the long "s"'s will make OCR virtually impossible
for the software that I use. So it'll be a hand transcription. That
could allow more errors to slip in but we'll dbl check it. :-)

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk
