The two volumes of Maxwell's "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism" were reprinted by Dover, bound as one (very thick) volume. It does make for interesting reading! Now it gathers dust on my shelves next to another fabulous classic "The Theory of Sound", by Lord Raleigh (also two volumes bound as one by Dover), a great source for solutions of eigenvalue problems. Another huge volume by Dover is "The Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell". These books are probably still available in one form or another.

I found the original, 1873 version of Maxwell's equations. The four space quaternion versions not the Gibbs - Heaviside mapping on to three space. Yes, something was lost in translation. Very interesting book. http://posner.library.cmu.edu/Posner/books/pages.cgi?call=537_M46T_1873_VOL. _1 and http://posner.library.cmu.edu/Posner/books/book.cgi?call=537_M46T_1873_VOL._ 2 An interesting winter's read. 73, Kevin.
