from the help desk
The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless, Vol. 1

I found some chapters seemed out of place, because the things that happened therein were not addressed in subsequent chapters.
...Until in Volume 2, those same chapters were repeated, wherein they belonged.

So, Chapters 12, 13, and 14 of Volume 2 were somehow put in Volume 1 as well, and should be deleted from Vol.1.
I don't know if there were any other similar errors, but that one was very noticeable.

I appreciate the all the good work Librivox is doing.

Thank you,

Anyways here is the link to the series https://librivox.org/search?q=betsy%20thoughtless&search_form=advanced

I'm not sure what happened here. Ch 12 doesn't agree to the text ... possibly read from the wrong volume?
https://books.google.co.za/books?id=vGVMone-Gp8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+History+Of+Miss+Betsy+Thoughtless+by+Eliza+Haywood&source=bl&ots=j9FQu-Uqxv&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=chap.%20xii&f=false

or the gutenberg.org version: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/46346/46346-h/46346-h.htm#Page_67

BTW - this text says that it was published in 4 volumes; so is there one more to go?

Looks like the reader for those chapters read them from the wrong section. I will see about getting them replaced with the correct ones; may take a while.

EDIT: Well, this may happen sooner than expected. Original reader has not been on LV since 2014 but I already have a volunteer to re-record those chapters.

Chapters 12-14 have been replaced with new, correct recordings.
