I've read it (for free). It's really fun to read. He's very funny and it's just generally fascinating to read such modern-seeming genius from so long ago.

Standard eBooks takes the works from project Gutenberg and makes them look a bit better. On the Gutenberg site you'll find a lot more files though - many classics from Darwin to Hobbes to Smith and Marx.
