Thanks. Er, sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by "display name"? If you mean the name I wish to use for the recording, simply my name, Steven Watson, is fine.

One question: would you like endnotes to be included in the recording? And if so, should they be included as they appear in the text, or listed at the very end?

Yes read the end notes as they appear in the text rathan than at the end

And, here I am.

I've completed the PL for Section 6: Needs a few changes.

19:23: Repeated Phrase, “there is Bothwell himself, there is Bothwell himself.”
Approximately 8 seconds of silence at the end of the file, trimming off about 3 seconds will bring it to the ~5 seconds need.

Other than these two minor issues, the reading is very clear, and it seems as though my opinion of the author was not complete with the earlier listen. He treats Sir Walter Scott very well, and holds him in high esteem. I might try to find some works by the man, the legend, the under rated Sir Walter Scott.

Thanks Bill! Updated recording: https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/spiritoftheage_06_hazlitt_128kb.mp3

If you want to listen to Scott novel, I can recommend the Librivox recording of The Bride of Lammermoor read by Gillian Hendrie. It's a great novel anyway, and it is a treat to have it read with a proper Scots accent.

For a moment, I thought that sentence in the middle would run on into the next chapter.

Hello Craig:

I wandered onto this post some time ago (courtesy: your post in the May Poetry Collection - 204) and noticed that 'Section 10 - William Wordsworth' and 'Section 19: James Sheridan Knowles' have yet to be claimed.

May I record those two?

Do let me know if that's okay.

Anticipating what I'm hoping for,
Garfield

Thanks for getting involved in Librivox Garfield

'Section 10 - William Wordsworth' and 'Section 19: James Sheridan Knowles' are both yours. I can't wait to hear it

Craig

Thank you, Craig!

I hope to record these as soon as I can and send them across! This is a rather interesting piece of text that doesn't seem that stiff so as to put these poets into showcases. Rather, it seems to be quite the version of a feature article in today's times and makes them (the poets, that is) rather relatable.

Pretty excited about this!

Always,
Garfield
