Hi Craig, Every thing is ok except for one small slip at 9:23 (page 176, start of second paragraph). Text reads "if one should presume to say that..." You say "if one should presume to say something that..."
Thanks for the careful PLing Sue

J. M. W. Turner's Sketchbooks, A Sampling
by Walter Thornbury
from:
The Life of J. M. W. Turner, R.A., Founded on Letters and Papers furnished by His Friends and Fellow Academicians,
1862. Pages 358-367.
https://books.google.com/books?id=C7IQAAAAYAAJ
Thornbury was Turner's first biographer. He was allowed to examine some of Turner's sketchbooks in person. What I found intriguing about reading this account from 1862 is that, thanks to the internet, Turner's sketchbooks are now available to browse online: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/research-publications/jmw-turner/passage-of-the-simplon-sketchbook-r1132763#entry-main.

Thanks for the PL, Craig! Finding out about new people or ideas is often what keeps me going with LibriVox. Which brings me to ask about the new quotes attached to your LibriVox signature. Who is Lichtenberg? I googled this name, and this is what came up: "Death prompts ban on fractal burning (also called Lichtenberg...a process that creates images on wood using high-voltage electricity)... https://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/news/woodworking-industry-news/death-prompts-ban-fractal-burningsoupy wrote: ↑January 13th, 2019, 10:20 am Thanks for the information about a new person for me Sue

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German physicist, satirist, and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. He is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called Sudelbücher, a description modelled on the English bookkeeping term "scrapbooks", and for his discovery of tree-like electrical discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.

His books on Librivox are all in German

Here's the quote from Wikiquote
A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out. We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Kierkegaard put the quote this way in his 1845 book Stages on Life's Way
Such works are mirrors: when an ape looks in, no apostle can look out. Lichtenberg
He does have one book in English.
Who is there among us who is not once a year mad, that is, who when he is alone does not imagine to himself another earth, other conditions of happiness than the actual ones? Sanity is nothing more than coming to oneself again as soon as the scene is over, leaving the play and going home.
