Rofl! The Chinese reader is in traditional and HANDWRITTEN :D Not cursive, but still handwritten. But the real funny thing is this: The glossary doesn't list the characters, but the TELEGRAPHIC CODES of the characters! Now that's helpful! ;)
PS: that being said, not all articles are handwritten, and after the articles there's a vocabulary section which thankfully does show the characters (AND the codes..)

Very good question. They're old enough to be public domain, but I'm not managing to view them. Perhaps MmeFleiss can shed some light on them?

Thanks; most of the credit goes to Chung and MmeFleiss, really.

Yes, there can be ups and downs with readers; if you tell me which reader it is, I'd gladly add this comment as a note.

According to the Google Books FAQ, any books in full book view mode are out of copyright, and those are the only ones I picked.
They can all be downloaded in PDF format. For the Google Books links, look at the top right of the page for the link.
Some more Italian Readers:
An Italian Reader: With Notes and Vocabulary
A Reader of the Italian Language
An Italian Reader of Nineteenth Century Literature

"A Reader of the Italian Language" shows up in full view for me, complete with download links.
However, other books you linked to, such as "Preparatory French reader" and "An Italian Reader of the Nineteenth Century" show up in snippet view, or not even that, despite being out of copyright, which is what I'm finding confusing. Are they all showing up in full view for you?
