Thank you! Here is the link:https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/menofscience_49_walker_128kb.mp3
It is 9:21 in length.

Chapter 49:
0:37 Please use the full title e.g. DD = Doctor of Divinity, FRS = Fellow of the Royal Society
3:54.8 Misread “a third appeared in 1782” as “in 1784”
4:08.5-4:10 Long pause
4:12.5 Missing word pound (or l) in “a salary of 100l.”
5:55.5 Missing word pound (or l) in “330l., and it is now worth 1000l. at least”
8:05.2 Misread “sold for more than 20,000l.” as “than 2,000”
8:31.5 Misread “six volumes 8vo.(octavo), 1785” as “8 volumes, 1785”
At the end, please add 4 seconds of silence, since we need a total of ~5 seconds of silence.

Hi Bethany! I hear background sounds (like flipping pages) throughout the recording, clearly audible at about 7:27, 7:34. Just cutting out those sections or simple noise cleaning should help.
The following link has some helpful videos https://sites.google.com/site/librivideo/for-volunteers/recording
Also, if possible, please read "l." as "pound".

Please make the changes and re-upload.
Thanks for recording

Bethany, please make these edits by December 31 so we don't need to delete your recording.

With regret, I am going to have to orphan section 49, Richard Watson

I'd like to get this to the catalog, so a speedy turnaround would be appreciated!

Hi. I did not see a stipulation on your post about British readers. If you are not partial to Americans participating, I will claim your section 49 to complete your memoir.

Any accent is fine

[Lynnet]

We have an orphan! Speedy turnaround requested

[TriciaG]

I will take the orphan. I'll probably be able to finish it tomorrow or Saturday.

Thank you. This has been orphaned twice now and everything else has been ready forever!

Here you go. I butchered the Welsh place name in the title.

The double L is said “thl”. But don’t worry.

[TriciaG]

I used Forvo! But the accent was too much for me.

Thank you Tricia!
Just a few PL Notes. Please make the changes if possible. All else is PL OK

Chapter 49:
Intro - Please use the full title e.g. DD = Doctor of Divinity, FRS = Fellow of the Royal Society
8:04 Misread “Revenues, recommending an equalization” as “commending an equalization”

[TriciaG]

Oops - I think that misread at 8:04 was actually overzealous editing.

Fixed - now 10:51
