I recorded the snippet using classical pronunciation. Here's an audacity project with the audio: https://vnt-spaces-0.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/land_of_Midian_snippet.aup3 There were two words (namely "Xaib58" and "59") that looked like copy'n'paste artifacts so I omitted them....

Awesome, thanks

Is there any way we can get a book cover image on there?
Something like the Wikipedia portrait of John Eliot might work well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_John_Eliot.jpg .

Thanks! I've uploaded a new version of section one with those things fixed.

All sections are now uploaded and ready for proof-listening.

> The MW is up. We can use this source, but please be sure to read only the text by John Eliot, and not the modern text by the editor.
Sounds good

Thanks for proof-listening it all

I've added the following into the first post: John Winthrop served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony for several years. His History of New England, 1630-1649 details life in the colony and narrates several controversies that arose within the plantation. Examples include the excommunication...

All sections have now been recorded.
The section for 1649 is rather short but I decided to leave it as a separate section to maintain the "1 section per year" format.

Thanks

I decided to split section 20 into two parts: section 20 and 21.

I've re-recorded section 0 using my newer recording setup to get higher audio quality.

Also, I found that the book was split into two volumes, so I've added a link to the volume two book into the first post in this thread.

I've now uploaded a fixed version of section 1.

Thanks
I've uploaded a fixed version of section 2.

Sections 1-3 are now recorded and uploaded.

Should I be doing anything to get proof-listeners lined up?

Sounds good. I've updated the notes to have the duration.

I'm making some changes to my recording setup to get a higher quality input; after that I should be able to get the first year recorded.
