Big fan of this, but the creator's first name was Oliver.

This doesn't have the distracting long "ſ"es of Oliver Byrne's editions. It was arguably a bonkers decision to have it in the first place, given that the long S was on the way out by then.
[EDIT: Corrected to use his actual first name, "Oliver"]
