Section 15 "Common Stock" PL Note: About 29:00 one repeated sentence "Jim nodded toward the tragic figure at the other end of the car. Jim nodded..." Cheryl :) Fixed. New length 39:52. I deleted the second instance of that sentence and touched nothing else. https://librivox.org/...

I saw that genealogy link, but couldn’t make a clear connection other than the name. Several bibliographic sites list her birth year as 1883, though - all pretty sketchy. I noticed that the census info at that link also lists her birth year as "circa 1883", and I've seen enough disputed b...

Author (birth year - death year): Marie Harriette Frary (1883- ) and Charles Maurice Stebbins (1871-1937?) I wonder if that's the Marie Harriette Kendall (nee Frary) who's listed on various genealogy sites, for example https://www.myheritage.com/names/marie_frary. If so, her dates seem to have been...

Fixed. I re-recorded everything between 12:35 and 12:51; the rest is unchanged.

I'd probably be better off reading from my physical copy of the book. I would not recommend that, as we absolutely need to read from the PD source. One cannot be sure that the text has not been changed slightly in new editions. I never read from the pdf file but always from the archive scan. You ca...

Section 4 is ready for PL. Lots of names here. I can't vouch for every last one of them. I think you did quite well with all the names, in fact I only found one which had a little mis-pronunciation. I think it was due to the fact that you mis-read the letter 'u' for an 'n' ;) > at 12:45 : (p. 47) E...

I was recently given this note, which I share with you. Recordings usually have .5 to 1 second of space at the beginning; without it, it's a bit abrupt to the listener. As all else is okay, I'd not take the time to correct this, now, but is something you may wish to consider for furture recordings....

Section 1 ready for PL https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/studies_01_lowndes_128kb.mp3 Duration 21:53 At first I thought of giving the characters French accents, but I found I wasn't able to manage that to my satisfaction. (At least, not without turning the story into a comedy.) I hope it's not a ...

Section 4 is ready for PL.

Lots of names here. I can't vouch for every last one of them.

What I especially love in your reading is that you don't maim any foreign names, be it Latin, French or here even Gaelic origin. You always take great care and probably some background check to make them sound as accurate as possible. :9: Wonderful dedication on your part here. Thanks for noticing....

Section 3 is ready for PL.

Here's another, short but sweet:

Hi Sonia, I decided it would be too painful to use the old pronunciation of Latin for the whole book, so I've re-uploaded Section 2 with the Classical pronunciation. (It felt much more natural to use the Classical pronunciation, and I'm hoping it will sound better to the listener too.) Changes were ...
