Hi Craig, Thanks for this! I read the Wikipedia article: "George Young (1692–1757) was an Edinburgh surgeon, physician, philosopher and empiric... His Treatise on Opium (1753) was a practical guide for physicians in the use of the drug which emphasises its complications. It was the longest, most balanced and most comprehensive English language account written yet written." I'll try to PL tomorrow.soupy wrote: ↑June 1st, 2020, 5:40 pm Of The Effects of Opium in Lowness of Spirits

Hi Craig, Thanks! The recounting of Mrs. C.D.'s case was of particular interest to me.
You have only one small slip; at 6:24, you reversed the words "Had he taken the opium" and said "he had taken," which changes the meaning.
Thanks Sue,
Corrected
Do you think Mrs. C.D.'s was an example of an early hospice patient?

An early "hospice patient"... in some senses yes, but to me, what was more important was the fact that Mrs. C.D., herself, was making her own informed judgement about what end-of-life treatment she wanted: "Some advised her not to indulge herself in the use of opium. She answered, that she would take it, tho' she was certain it would hasten her death; for it was better to have one easy death, if it could be had, than suffer an hundred of the miserable kind..."
Yes that was there too.
Young said in another part of the book that woman planted and harvested their own poppies because they didn't trust the pharmacy.

Hi,

The Peruvian Earthquake of 1868
an excerpt from "The Great South American Earthquakes of 1868" an article in
Harper's Monthly, April 1869
by Ephraim George Squier
41:18
https://books.google.com/books?id=m6L1O1hxqzkC&pg=PA603#v=onepage&q&f=false
First paragraph on page 603, and then skip to page 608, last paragraph, left column and continue through second paragraph, page 615.
Kudos to Availle for inspiring this recording! Reading down her "Table of Different Velocities Expressed in Metres per Second" I wondered what this one was all about: "Propagation of the tide caused by the earthquake of Arica on August 13, 1868 (Arica to Honolulu), according to to Hochstetter ... 227.38 metres per second." Well, the massive 1868 earthquake which hit the port city of Arica, Peru, and which was followed by 11 tidal waves, totally destroyed the town and left a U.S. 12-gun man-of-war stranded 450 yards inland and 3 miles north of where it had been docked.

Thanks Sue
That was the best account of an earthquake that I've listened to of all the accounts read into librivox
Peru sure has had an issue with earthquakes.

Thanks for the PL, Craig! I wouldn't have cared to have been aboard the Wateree and seen that 45 ft. high tidal wave coming at me...
I presume philosophy is permitted in this collection?

Sue & Craig,
Happy almost first day of summer (at least in this hemisphere ). I've been listening to Daniel Stashower's The Hour of Peril - The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War, and in looking for a PD version of the tale to read for LibriVox, I discovered this piece from an unexpected source: the CIA! It's short and to the point, and if it lacks the dramatic punch of Stashower's version, it has the virtue of being a US government publication, hence, public domain.

To whom it may concern,
In the MW, the 'listen' link for sections 8 and 9 both are the recording of section 9. Craig probably isn't very happy doing almost an hour of recording and not having it included.
