We did the first part of the Section 11 and found that the part of the text seems to be missing.
*Although the passions may be temporarily overcome, their sources
remain. A proverb of like meaning is, Bonno no inn o?4omo sara u:
"Though driven away, the Dog of Lust cannot be kept from coming
back again."
It sounds that the text is in Japanese but I have no idea what it is.
I have checked two different texts in Gutenberg.org but both have exactly the same text.

dill,
the scanned text at Internet Archive shows this as:
Yes, if there are problems with the gutenberg text, usually all versions have it because they are prepared from the same source. In such a case, going over to archive.org to find an original scan of the book is the best solution.
I'm happy to hear that everybody is so enthusiastic about this!
Cheers, Ava.

David, thanks for your file - but, once again the length of your recording is missing - could you please post it for me?
Nadine, MW updated. About the cover, well, I probably shouldn't tell here as to not embarass penthorpe, but there were lots of pm's going on with a mixture of threats and promises of certain favours...
Cheers, Ava.

Section 1, neckertb: The Author ID3 Tag has a double space between Lafcadio and Hearn. Otherwise PL OK. A light touch of noise-cleaning might improve it slightly, but it is not essential. Good reading.
Section 2, penthorpe: The recording is in stereo. Otherwise good reading.
Section 3, JDavidMoore: This section is too quiet and needs some amplification. After amplification some noise cleaning may be needed.
The beginning silence is slightly long, it should be shorter than one second, and the end silence is too short, it should be 10 seconds long, as the recording is over 30 minutes long.
Also Incense in the title ID3 Tag is miss-spelled.
5:02 A 4 second pause and a repeat. Then mention should be made of the ancient incenses still preserved in various Japanese temples, and of the famous fragments of ranjatai (publicly exhibited at Nara in the tenth year of Meiji)
14:56 Repeat. Besides music, embroidery, poetical composition and other branches of the old-fashioned female education, the young lady of pre-Meiji days was expected to acquire three especially polite accomplishments, —the art of arranging flowers, (ikebana), the art of ceremonial tea-making (cha-no-yu or cha-no-e)
27:41 Said Jako three-sixteenths of an ounce; should be Jako seven-sixteenths of an ounce.
Otherwise the reading is very good.
Section 4, neckertb: Again the Author ID3 Tag has a double space between Lafcadio and Hearn. Otherwise PL OK. A light touch of noise-cleaning might improve it slightly, but it is not essential. Good reading.
Section 5, JDavidMoore: The beginning silence is slightly too long and the volume is far too quiet. The section needs amplifying. After amplification some noise cleaning may be required. Otherwise the reading sounds great, very clear and expressive.
Section 15, BellonaTimes: This section is a touch on the loud side and could do with some noise-cleaning. Also the Title ID3 Tag is incorrect.
1:58 Said get stuck by a stone-wave; should be get struck by a stone-wave.
12:25 Footnote omitted: This is a common proverb:—Kappa mo obore-shini. The Kappa is a water-goblin, haunting rivers especially.
22:32 Said with the gladness; should be will the gladness.
Thanks, Nadine, glad you like it! (It helps that these books have cool illustrations to work with!)
