A Casket of Cameos by Frank W. Boreham (1871 - 1959).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/a-casket-of-cameos-by-frank-w-boreham
Frank Boreham was a well known preacher who served in England, Australia, and New Zealand. He published dozens of books and thousands of editorials during his lifetime, with no sign of slowing down, even up until his death at age 88. He wrote with a distinctive style, seeming to be able to draw a spiritual lesson out of any conceivable topic.

This is the third volume of his "Texts That Made History" series, in which he sketches the lives of eminent Christians throughout the ages and the specific scriptures from which they each drew their inspiration and strength. (Devorah Allen)
Volunteers outside the USA: F.W. Boreham died in 1959. His work is still protected by copyright in places, like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, or Australia (author's death plus 70 years for authors who died after 1954).
  1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    .
  2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    .
  3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    .
  4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.169088/
    .
  5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
    .
    Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard
    .
    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!

Mind if I sign on as DPL again?

And, I'd like to read Section 8 Melancthon, if that's okay.

Thanks for the nudge! I saw your first post a couple of days ago, but I was away from home and couldn't assign it right then. And of course, by the time I got home, it had completely fallen out of my mind! :roll:

And thanks for claiming!

Hello. I am sorry to say that I am now not going to record the section that I had claimed, 18. I wish for it to become available again for someone else to claim. Thank you,
April
