Because, in common with most other providers of electronic text,
Bartleby claim copyright over all the material on their site -- even
direct transcriptions of public domain material. They're wrong, but
rather than get into a potential argument with them, it's better to
avoid the conflict altogether and generate an edition from an
alternate source.
