Section 4 - Geographic Names

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ngm10_01_04_128kb.mp3
3.17

I think it appropriate that I should record this article as I also recorded the previous article referred to in this one :)

I was amused by the writer's indignation at other countries having own names for the USA rather than using the 'proper' name while he himself uses the term Germany which is a name used in the English speaking world and not the name used by the residents of 'Deutschland' themselves :hmm:

Section 8 - Commerce

4.09

I suppose the period covered by this article would have seen the switch from sail to steam hence bigger and more powerful ships.

You're probably right; or also the development of the steam engine itself (more power, better performance etc)

PL OK for section 8. Thank you! You're a great reader, Alan!

This is PL OK! Thank you, Ava! So God can't answer all prayers, and only the areas who are more in danger are allowed to pray...?

God only answers the right prayers placed in the right moment. It's all about his big plan, really. :twisted:
