Here are the PL Notes for Section 5:

10:56 appears to be text inserted that does not belong: I heard "a happy lammant...their rammant"; the texts says "peculiarly cherished and comforted by our royal family. Now Jeanne's claims were no better, and no nearer in 1781"

17:26 repeat "a friend of"

25:36 appears to be text inserted that does not belong between "would shield her" and "who said that they had been gulled"; the text between these two phrases should be "would sacrifice himself and pay the 60,000l. But the jewellers dared not carry the news to the Cardinal. They went to Madame Campan"

28:35 I heard "They are like a fair trial"; text says "They like a fair trial"

Hello! Welcome to Librivox! First things first:

How would you like to be credited in the catalog? There are places for a catalog name (some use a nickname or forum name, some their real name) and a link to a personal web site or blog, if you have one.

You'll need to do the 1-minute test before recording the section you requested. Or, as an alternate, you can use the first 30 seconds or so of this recording as your test. However, I would recommend not to record the whole thing until you’ve gotten the OK on your test recording - that way, if there's something drastically wrong with your setup that requires you to re-do the whole recording, you won't have wasted your time.

Here’s the article explaining the 1 minute test: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test

And another article explaining recording in general for new readers: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording

In the meantime, I’ll save the section for you!

Hi Elsie! Pending the approval of my 1-Minute Test, may I please claim section 9, The Case of Captain Green? This will be my first LV recording. I'd like my pseudonym to be voxdockery, and I do not at this time have a personal website for linking

Thank you!

FAB.
This makes a nice complement to my copy of Werner Herzog's film The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.
Thank you...LJB

A quick Q:
There are 2 brief footnotes that apply to section VI; they are citations to other works:
: fn11 -- "The Story of Kaspar Hauser from Authentic Records. Swan Sonnenschein & Co., London, 1892"
: fn12 -- "Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, vol. vii. pp. 221-257"
I read elsewhere in the forums (fora?) that the standard treatment is to (1) say "footnote" -- (2) read the footnote -- (3) say "end of footnote."
Should I do that with these footnotes, or do you have another preference?
Thank you...LJB
