Well done. Found the topic quite interesting as I would never have thought to compare those two countries.

This is PL OK.

Cbteddy wrote: November 20th, 2023, 10:56 am Hello! Here are sections 25 and 26. I split them where it felt natural, but one section is slightly longer than the other. If you'd prefer it be closer to a 50:50 split, let me know and I'm happy to adjust.

I will say I find this author quite long winded! I don't think I've ever seen that many semi-colons used EVER :lol:

25 (34:06)

Nicely read. See below for comments on section 26

high level of background noise at the start makes it hard to hear the intro. "Section 26 of Egypt of the Pharaohs and of the Khedivé"
10:54 I hear "complex execution of the law" where the text reads "complete execution of the law"

This chapter seems rather "loosely" connected to the title of the book.

Regarding section breaks, a more logical break to me would be to move the first 13 minutes of 26 to 25. it does not, however, make the sections more even so I am not sure it is worth the effort.

Break before:
II. And, now that we have collected our facts, let us proceed to combine them into a
gular and synoptical argument. If, in my endeavour to establish them, I may have been too
oncise, I beg the reader to call to mind the title of this work. These are matters which, here,
can neither pass over altogether, nor yet treat as fully as I might think desirable.

Thanks,

M
Hello! Thanks so much for the feedback on chapters 25 and 26. I've made the requested changes, and also move those 13 mins from 26 to 25. I agree with your choice of split!

Please note: the correction about the "complete execution of the law" is now in Section 25 around 44:32. It was part of the section that got moved from 26. All other changes should still be in line with the original timing mentioned.

New files have been uploaded, and I've noted the new timing for both.

25 (now 46:44)

26(now 36:58)

Both sections are PL OK. I really appreciate you giving me the information on that last correction. Made things much easier.

Thanks,

M
