I would be glad to have you read a chapter, so just tell me which one.

Also, tell me how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog - real name, pseudonym or any nickname you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of you LV work. We can also add a link to a web site if you have one.

And, here is our little preface.
I've add a little extra to the intro that won't be in the standard intros for the subsequent chapters.

Section 00 is PL OK.

RitaBoutros · Post by **RitaBoutros** » June 8th, 2020, 6:03 am

Section 15 just needs a couple of small edits:

At start, reduce space to under 1 second.
After chapter title, add dates 1706-1790.
At 4:05, I heard "But that as it may..." should be "Be that as it may..."
At 4:21, I heard "..friendliness and almost penniless..." should be "friendless ....
At 8:37, it's a little choppy with awkward spacing
11:58: I heard "washed intently..." sb "watched intently..."
15:24: I heard "..state men's" sb "statesman.."
Shave 1 second off at the end.

Thank you.
