Hi. I would like to claim sections 52 and 53. Thanks.
I re-uploaded Section 25 with some corrections to the pronunciations. I hope this wasn't jumping the gun.
https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/cambridgemodernhistory3_25_various_128kb.mp3
Length: 37m 22s
Passages re-recorded (I erred on the side of recording more rather than less text to minimize the “pasted-in” sound of the corrections):
At 3:16: Among those who toiled with the greatest zeal on his behalf were Sainte Aldegonde and Wesembeke, not only by their personal intercourse with others, as they moved about from place to place, but by their prolific pens, and by a skilled literary power, especially notable in Sainte Aldegonde. Two publications of this date had a great effect in stirring up the popular feeling in William's favour. The one was the famous war-song of the revolt, the Wilhelmus vam Nassouwen, still the national hymn of the Netherlands, the authorship of which is almost universally assigned to Sainte Aldegonde.
At 7:47: " Quel coup de massue cela nous ait esté" he wrote to his brother; "my sole hope was from the side of France." A bold dash southwards might still have saved Mons, but Orange turned to the north, where for a while he seemed successful. Archiepiscopal Malines was surrendered to him ; and shortly afterwards Termonde and Oudenarde shared the same fate.
At 10:55: From henceforth William, though in name a Provençal Prince and a German Count, became a Netherlander pure and simple, and absolutely identified himself with the interests and fortunes of the people, to whom he was already bound by so many ties.
At 11:51: Sainte Aldegonde, as the Prince's representative, addressed them in a long and eloquent speech, with the result that William was by a unanimous vote recognised as lawful Stadholder.
At 12:41: At the beginning of the year 1572 Alva had fallen considerably in his master's esteem ; and the Duke of Medina Coeli had been sent from Spain to enquire into his conduct of affairs, and no doubt finally to supersede him, as Alva had himself superseded the Duchess of Parma. But Medina Coeli, after narrowly escaping capture by the Sea-Beggars, found that the dangers of invasion, which threatened the provinces from so many quarters, demanded the strong hand of a military chief rather than of an administrator; and Alva retained his governorship.
Any additional corrections or improvements suggested will be promptly attended to.

Great, thanks!

Thank you, Tad! Normally, we ask readers not to make changes in submitted sections until they've been PLed, but since you changed only a handful of places and provided timestamps, that shouldn't complicate the work of our PL.

Hi Michael,
I applied the noise reduction changes to section 61;
https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/cambridgemodernhistory3_61_various_128kb.mp3
As a newcomer, could I ask if the hum from my (rather old) computer be affecting the noise level? I record early in the morning, when the house is quiet. There are no other immediate sources of noise.
Regards

Thanks, Niall! It's now PL OK. Yes, an active computer fan would be expected to produce a hissing or buzzing kind of noise. I haven't heard the crackling noise before, but it's possible. If you can't easily eliminate this noise, Audacity's noise reduction will do the job. Just be sure that the segment you use for the noise profile includes all the types of background noises heard in the recording and doesn't include any breath sounds (which would make your breaths sound weird in the recording). I keep several sound samples for various noises I have around the house that I recorded while holding my breath, and I apply whichever of them are appropriate for a given recording.

Philip II part 3

While I'm here, I'd better lay claim to the conclusion of Spain's story for now, with Phil 3.
May I claim Sections 54 and 55,
Spain under Philip III - parts 1 and 2?

Michael,
Just checking in on Section 33. I'm a bit behind, having taken 2 weeks in the outer banks of NC, then my 2nd Covid vaccination. Anticipate I should have it ready for review by June 14, if not before. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Take care,
John

Thanks for the update! You still have a month to go before the 2-month deadline. If you need an extension beyond that point, just let me know.

I also re-recorded the first sentence because of the unmistakable sound of our food mixer which I hadn't noticed earlier. I didn't think Cosimo would approve.

PL note:
I listened to this 37:22 recording and read all the educative discussions contributed by Tad, Michael, and Owlivia. Again, the French sentence is pointed by Tad, the dedicated reader if someone or Michael may please listen again. I will mark it as PL OK once all the feedback and discussion are done on this piece of recording.
7:47: " Quel coup de massue cela nous ait esté"
Again, thank you, Tad, for all the seamless connections of the newly inserted portions, and many thanks for kindly including all the timestamps in your post.
Many thanks again, for each of your talents and efforts! I am grateful to PL for such awesome readers.

Hello,
I would like to do sections 63 & 64 if that's alright.
