Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
Genres for the project: *Non-fiction/Writing & Linguistics
Keywords that describe the book: English language, history of English language, linguistics

Hi! Would you kindly change your text source? Your link is to a transcription of the book on Gutenberg Canada. Books that are out of copyright in Canada aren't necessarily out of copyright in the United States (different copyright terms), so to be absolutely safe, we need either a scan of a pre-1924 version (not a transcription) or a version on US Gutenberg or HathiTrust, which are reliable sources for books that are PD in the US.
