These 100+ word sentences can really tie me up. I'm looking forward to see what you find on this one, linny!

Gary,
Welcome to the world of President Pierce and run on sentences.
I would like to tell you that it's unusual for him but it seems to be his nature. You did a great job with section 13. Thank you for your efforts.
There were a few minor word changes:
1:14 - It is matter of congratulation that the Republic is tranquilly advancing in a career of prosperity and peace.
I hear public
8:44 - The British Government passes over the question of the rights of Great Britain, real or supposed, in Central America, and assumes that she had such rights at the date of the treaty and that those rights comprehended the protectorship of the Mosquito Indians, the extended jurisdiction and limits of the Balize, and the colony of the Bay Islands, and thereupon proceeds by implication to infer that if the stipulations of the treaty be merely future in effect Great Britain may still continue to hold the contested portions of Central America.
I hear rates
12:40 - In pursuance of this policy, the laws of the United States do not forbid their citizens to sell to either of the belligerent powers articles contraband of war or take munitions of war or soldiers on board their private ships for transportation; and although in so doing the individual citizen exposes his property or person to some of the hazards of war, his acts do not involve any breach of national neutrality nor of themselves implicate the Government.
I hear musicians
24:20 I have declined, in behalf of the United States, to accept this invitation, for the most cogent reasons.
I hear regions

Gary,
Section 13 is spot check PL OK. On this upload you forgot the ending 128kb in the file name. I'll mark it in the MW so Lynne knows which file to fix before cataloging.

Ah, linny, rats! No 128kb suffix? My attention to detail must be slipping. Thanks for letting me know. I need to adjust that on the file on my laptop for my own recordkeeping.
Anyway, I chose to do Franklin Pierce because his sentences were so long and sometimes convoluted. Figured it would force me to grow my skills.

Wow! That's shocking especially considering it was 160 years ago.realisticspeakers wrote: ↑August 14th, 2018, 3:21 pm https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/stateoftheunion1849_1856_15_various_128kb.mp3

Ending silence is at 2.5 seconds which is a little short. Some players might cut you off.

Gary,
Don't stress about the file name. It happens from time to time. I don't like for Lynne to have much extra stuff to do when cataloging. I'll always point it out whenever I see it.
I'm glad you are enjoying Pierce. He certainly makes you think about the text and determining when to place extra pauses.

While parsing the syntax and flow, I could not help but reminisce about Madison.
Pierce's reading level comes in 3rd below our beloved author of the Constitution, with a score of 20, more than a point and a half lower.
Van Buren was second.

Gary,
Great job! PL OK. Nice introduction of the constitutional crisis to come in 1861.

I'll get the next project launched tonight or tomorrow. Due to duration I had to move it around some so this next one is limited to 1857-1860.
