Uncut pages are pages in a book that have not been trimmed by rebinding, which was a common practice up through the middle of the 19th century (1850s to 1860s). This would result in pages “connected” at the top which would then need to be “cut” with a letter opener to separate the pages allowing for an easier reading.  In this case, they are uncut on the sides/foredges.  You will need to cut the pages in order to read them in these editions.  Using a simple bone folder or letter opener will work.
