Even if the Oxford 1825 TR might be available in print (it is a public
domain text in any case), there really is _no_ reason for anyone to use it
for collation or other purposes, since it does not conform to the Stephens
1550 or Elziver 1633 TR, let alone to the IGNTP's Oxford 1873 edition
which -- if anything -- should be the "standard" TR for text-critical
purposes.  I would not myself recommend anyone to obtain the Oxford 1825
edition, since no collation or other data will be based upon such, even if
made in the 1800s.
