I've looked up the pronunciations of a lot of town names but please tell me if I've goofed on any pronunciations. I'd like to correct the errors. Easter Sunday tomorrow. Keep safe.

Thank you. Normally, we don’t comment on pronunciation (as I’m sure you know)... but I’m someone who thinks we should make the effort with Proper Nouns. I appreciate the extra effort you put in (and I’lll let you know if there are any glaring errors, although it’s possible I won’t know the correct pronunciation anyway )fshort wrote: ↑April 11th, 2020, 7:25 pm https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/olivercromwell_14_firth_128kb.mp3

Can I read the remaining section please?Lynnet wrote: ↑November 29th, 2019, 11:38 am Oliver Cromwell and the Rule of the Puritans in England by Charles H. Firth (1857 - 1936).
The Life of Cromwell is in part based on an article contributed by the author to the Dictionary of National Biography in 1888, but embodies the result of later researches, and of recently discovered documents such as the Clarke Papers. The battle plans have been specially drawn for this volume by Mr. B. V. Darbishire, and in two cases differ considerably from those generally accepted as correct. The scheme of this series does not permit a discussion of the reasons why these alterations have been made, but the evidence concerning the battles in question has been carefully examined, and any divergence from received accounts is intentional. The reader who wishes to see this subject discussed at length is referred to a study of the battle of Marston Moor printed in Volume XII. of the Transactions of the Royal Historical Society (new series), and to a similar paper on Dunbar which will appear in Volume XIV.
The quotations from Cromwell’s letters or speeches are, where necessary, freely abridged. ( C.H. Firth)
