There is too much noise. I reprocessed the image using scantailor:
scantailor-cli -v --layout=1.5 --dpi=300 --output-dpi=300 --margins-top=5 --margins-bottom=5 --margins-left=10 --margins-right=10 --threshold=-40 --picture-shape=rectangular --enable-page-detection --white-margins --enable-fine-tuning --color-mode=black_and_white --normalize-illumination=true --despeckle=off --start-filter=3 0002_nrm.png out
With a picture into the image I use '--color=color_grayscale' followed by an imagemagic "convert $f -type GrayScale -normalize $f"
Note the thershold=-40 (negative 40) , this is due to the thick ink in your image. Usually I do -threshold=15 (positive 15).

From Mrs MacGeechy. Inlay.
EFORE this there was a king, and he wished
to see his son with a wife before he should depart.
His son said he had better go for a wife ; and he gave
him half a hundred pounds to get her. He went for-
ward the length of a day, and when the night came he
went in to a hostelry to stay in it. He went down to a
chamber with a good fire in front of him; and when he
had gotten meet. the man of the house went down to
talk to him. He told the man of the house the jour-
ney on which he was The man of the house told
him he need not go further; that there was a little
house opposite to his sleeping chamber; that the man
of the house had three fine daughters ; and if he would
stand in the window of his chamber in the morning,
that he would see one after mother coming \0 dress
herself. That they were all like each other, and that
he could not one from the other. but that

Note that in the word 'fire' and 'fine' there is a sign 'fi' whch is in fact a single character and is a pleague in the unicharset
I added this rule in my FRA module in unicharambigs to get rid of it:
1 fi 2 f i 1
1 fl 2 f l 1
You will note that I put 1 at last --> mendatory replace.
Who introduced these two signs and why, I don't know but they are extremly domageable.
