How about Agnes Clarke? I often hear here cited, but have never found any of her chronicles published. Did she write mainly in journals, or are her books just too long out of print to find.
I think I have mentioned this elsewhere, but you can get a reprint one of Agnes Clerke's GREAT books in real hardcopy here:

... along with some vintage titles by Garrett P. Serviss.
Other Agnes Clerke stuff can be found (in PDF format) at books.google.com and at the Internet Archive:

I love Agnes' writing. Top notch.
