I assume you have seen this? I noticed it because the Blennerhasset estate in I reland is where my gt gt grandfather worked apparently

Volume one and two are online at
www.ebooksread.com/
so it may be that volume three is likely to be at some point.

Just had a thought -

You could try contacting the British Library who supposedly have a copy of every book published in the UK.

And see if they are willing to scan or photo the relevant pages. If they are able to (bearing in mind they wouldn't want to damage the spine of the book) they would probably charge.

If you were thinking of buying it, best to ask the seller if it covers the pages you want - seems a bit confusing to me - lol

thank you very much for your help
