Book about gunmaking circa 1791 (free download)

Hi,
"An Essay on Shooting." by Cadell
I just found this book published around 1791 about gunmaking.
I find it very intersting.
http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=Q3ECAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR3&dq=%2B%22An+Essay+on+Shooting%22%2BCadell&hl=es&ei=r-T0TNXUGoiq8Abuh4zgBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%2B%22An%20Essay%20on%20Shooting%22%2BCadell&f=false

Beg your pardon because y google is in Spanish, just click on "descarga" to download the pdf file.e

Great book.

Can any of you Modern computer users tell an illiterate Geezer just exactly what buttons to press to download this pdf? 
Not sufficiently familiar with these machines to find "descarga" or anything similar in the English version.

I'll try. Don't feel bad because this is well hidden. When you first open the web page there is a label in blue that says "Page iii >>" right at the top of the book. Click on that and a button marked "Download" will appear in the upper right. Click on that and it will download to your computer. Hope this helps. -Tom

Thanks.
I mucked around with the Spanish (my kid always says "play with it". @#$!!&%$!!) clicked on"Borrar busqueda" lo & behold I then saw the magic "descarga"  so I des-carga-ed it & saved it.

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up! I pressed buttons until it said down load!
