There’s more to be found at Project Gutenberg: This time a book with knitting patterns from 1846 (when I read the roman cyphers MDCCCXLVI accurately ;-)): Exercises in Knitting.
Unfortunately there are no pictures at all, if you want to know, whether you like the pattern, you have to be able to ‘read’ it from the description or you have to try it.
Not good for unpatient people like me.
