The duration discrepancy might well have been a finger-slip when transfering the duration and word count from the screen on which they were displayed.

Your pace was neither too slow nor too fast, it was firmly in the middle of the Goldilocks range.

Thank you again.

You are welcome, Wayne, and I feel sure you are going to enjoy this project as much as you did Sir Titus Salt. They will be lucky to have you. :thumbs:

Another remarkable performance! :clap: :clap:
And, it is PL OK. This almost goes without saying. :)

I claimed the privilege of PL'ing Section 1; well-read and very interesting (I knew OF Sir Faraday, but not ABOUT him, previous to this).
2 minor issues:
at 14:06 and environs (first full paragraph on page 9)
"he was RE-engaged BY the managers of the Royal Institution"
sentence continuing: "here he made rapid progress in chemistry"
I hear "here he made rapid Trust in [garbled]"

Very minor at 16:38 - last paragraph on page 10
"he married and obtained leave"
I hear: "he married and obtained A leave..."

How fun that Faraday was inspired on his scholarly path by reading the Encyclopedia Britannica! :clap:

Thank you very, very much Deborah!
I'll fix those two items this evening as I'm setting up to record my two sections in the "On The Various Forces of Nature" project this evening, too.

Uploaded fixed Section 01

Thanks again, Deborah for the PLing of this file. In the future I hope you'll do more. A note: typically one requests to PL a file, then waits until that request to be acknowledged before putting in the work. That way, we won't have more than one person PLing the same file.

I liked that you mentioned the SOURCE page numbers, but you can save yourself some work by just giving a precise Time:Mark, e.g., 16:04. Are you using Audacity as your audio editor? If so, this is a trivial thing to do, makes it easy.

Again: Thank you loads!

How say you?

Between pages 32 and 33 their is a huge footnote of dramatic and significant information.
However, the last few statements on page 33 (the last half of the footnote) are less significant, confusing, and will detract from the unusually relevant drama, and I think, importance of the first half.

So, I want to read the first half of the footnote on page 32, but not the remainder on page 33. Can I?

I see your point.
So, yes, you may omit the latter half of the footnote. :thumbs:
