Pamela, working with you in this project was a real pleasure. Looking forward to listening to some of your future recordings in other projects

Hello! Here's the original scan (the phrase is located near bottom of page), so it is not a Gutenberg typo. You are right, the author does mean a Second when he says "second Minute of Time". I think it comes from the Latin use in Old English, pars minuta prima for minutes and pars minuta s...

Thank you for having me!

PL notes for Section 29 : PL - OK Section 30 : 10:32 [...]and the Angles of which these thicknesses are Secants will be 26´ 13´´, 37´ 5´´, 45´ 6´´, and 52´ 26´´[...] (pg 303) I think those numbers refer to the angles so they should be minutes and seconds instead of feet and inches, but let's wait fo...

Thank you for the revisions!

Sections 02, 21, 23 and 26 are PL-OK

PL notes for Section 21: 16:16 should say " exceeded not the ", but I'm not sure what is heard (sounds like "that" instead of "not") Can you check it, Pamela, please? If it is indeed "not" then excuse my ears :D Section 22: PL - OK Section 23: 17:33 I heard &q...

Chapter 14 - PL OK! minor note: ID3 tags missing. I did find that the recording has some harsh s's, but no need to rerecord for that. You can read some suggestions as to how to avoid that in the wiki ( sibilants ) Lastly, a note about complete silence: it's better to leave some room noise in the rec...

Chapter 14: Spot-checked - OK

Thank you!

I have 2 questions on Section 23, page 239 text relating to Fig. 7: The symbol used in place of the English "x" in larger circle, on the far right side , is confusing me. Was the y-looking symbol used for upsilon, for psi, or maybe a symbol error for chi? I just don’t know how our English...

Section 19: Spot-checked - OK Section 20: Spot-checked - OK Section 25: Spot-checked - OK Section 26: (mostly word order) 02:33 I heard " they shall in great measure be transmitted where Water " in text " they shall be in great measure transmitted where the Water " 03:12 I heard ...

Hello! I tried to be more careful in the intros this time :P so in Sections 19-20, the intro goes "[...] The second book of Opticks, by Isaac Newton. Part 1 [...]" as opposed to the first post that suggests "[...] Opticks, by Isaac Newton. Book 2 Part 1 [...]" . Is it acceptable?...

rest of the PL notes: Section 12: PL - OK Section 20: PL - OK Section 21: PL - OK, personally I would prefer "End footnote" being added in the following instances: 00:48, 01:54, 02:32, 03:11, 03:55, 04:25, 06:25, 06:49, 07:30, 07:50, 08:20, 08:41, 09:33, 09:56, 11:20, 11:57, 12:19, 13:00, ...

I must have been in momentum there and missed that

Thank you for pointing it out, Pamela! PL of Section 19 coming soon
