Thanks much, Sue and Craig! I am very happy to see you all again.

Thanks for the PLing, too. I will fix it as soon as possible (which means probably on the weekend

).

I found only one error in pronounciation.

8:34 where it is as broad as the Thames at London Bridge – The river in London is pronounced Tames - with a long a.

Fixed version uploaded, same length.

Political Economy is an excerpt of the first 11 minutes of Chapter 1 of Frederick Bastiat's opus, Harmonies of Political Economy, in which he summarizes what he means by the term Political Economy. A charming little piece, which every high school student should be required to read!

Hi Michele, Thanks for this additional contribution of the ideas of Bastiat to vol. 60!

Craig, Here is the link to Michele's selection for purposes of PLing: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/45002/45002-h/45002-h.htm#I.- (Gutenberg has more than one volume by Bastiat).

Sorry, Sue, I did give you the wrong link. I have been parsing both books at the same time, finding little jewels in each one.

Thanks for Political Economy Michele - I did learn that lesson when I was young.

Hi Fritz, Glad to have you "aboard" vol. 60!

(I was struck by the nautical terms Durant uses to describe his balloon flight.) His barometer has apparently survived: https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/barometer-charles-f-durant; and I found a contemporary celebration of his historic 1833 flight: http://nyctimetraveler.blogspot.com/2013/09/september-9-charles-durant-first.html.

Thanks Phil. A New York Balloon Ascension from 1833 is PLOK

Thank you both! My interest was piqued by a news article on the anniversary of the flight and I was able to find a copy of the Journal of Commerce entry.

Hi Craig, Thanks for this addition to volume 60!

I would have had it PL'd sooner, but in following your Wikipedia link to Bishop Stillingfleet I became intrigued by the fact that he had had his portrait painted in 1690 by a woman, Mary Beale, and then I was off and running on her intriguing history, and finally came round again to Stillingfleet's letter.

There is only one significant error, a sentence you left out towards the end, at 5:45, which begins " Were it my design to publish your just and due character..." You might also check [at 4:52.70] your pronunciation of "efficacy" https://translate.google.com/#en/fr/efficacy, but that may just be a regional difference in pronunciation between you and me.

Thanks Sue

From what I see there seems to be many women who sign their written word Jan or Mary or Sue but not many men who do that. Probably a lot of women painters beck then just as there were so many female translators.

I re-recorded the whole thing.
