So not Dr. Benjamin Thompson, astrophysicist, also #2 nephew?

No, you have the right guy. Maybe he wasn't American, strictly speaking, because at that time it was still a British colony?
He was in any case born "on the American continent" and left only because he was threatened to be tarred and feathered on the streets...

Hi Bob! Thanks for recording

I hear some occasional knocking/clicking sounds in the background. You may have to re-record some phrases.
You can refer to https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Instructional_Videos and https://sites.google.com/site/librivideo/for-volunteers/recording for instructional videos on noise removal & editing.

Please make the changes mentioned below in the PL Notes and re-upload.

Chapter 37: John Rennie
(1) 3:05.4-3:06.5 – Clicking noise in the background during “While at this school”
(2) 6:30-6:38 – Knocking sound in the background during “Waterloo Bridge over the Thames, begun in 1809 and finished in 1817. It is built”
(3) 6:42 – Repeat “equal semi-elliptical… elliptical arches”
(4) 8:59-9:02 – Clicking noise in the background during “Smeaton was the first who”
(5) 10:07-10:09 – Noise during “the kingdom, Mr. Rennie executed”
(6) 11:10.2-11:14.5 – Noise during “and extending 60 miles in length by 25 in breadth.”
