Editing: great and sploked.
But there's something funny going on at the very beginning. One you too many?
If it was a case of inadvertently creating an mp3 out of two tracks, better check other sections at risk of choirs?

I created a second track in section 02 when I ran a little experiment layering my voice in a quote. And didn't delete the layer when employed 'save as' on the file to create the next section. Something somehow found its way into the layer? I've fixed it and will upload soon.

Sorry for the slow progress on this.

The temperature on Sunday past was 49 degrees centigrade. The weather keeps spiking pretty alarmingly right on the weekends which has been killing my productivity.

Hey, I'm sorry for you! When summer hits my latitudes I often seriously struggle to manage.
We'll be here when you are back.

And I am back.

I came, I sweated, I talked to myself for a bit like a loon and I conquered (?)—eventually

"all the fervor of a new taste". The change in public opinion was reflected in his new preface; no longer dispassionately academic, but rather, ardently imperialist. "Every day that passes," he wrote, "convinces us more and more of the importance of colonization in general, and of its importance above all for France." He was seizing every opportunity

Your loony monologue didn't make it into the file for my enjoyment, sigh.

Hmm. Maybe I should start to set funny bloopers to the side. They do happen from time to time

Anywho, I've all fixed the sneaky mistakes in your butterfly net.

Good progress

Though after the praise for Leopold II in the last chapter, I'm _mildly_ concerned Chapter 5 may be dumpster fire. We'll see. Moon has been fairly straight-talking up to this point, as far as I can tell, but the Congo was flipping N A S T Y. Shocking even to the sensibilities of the day.

The blot on page 72, circa 38:30, will be drawn from this alternate copy also from the University of Michigan;

Here we go. All done on Section 5. Enjoy

pp. 73 also has a big blot so I just switched to the other copy for the last few pages.

I did. Thank you for this great reading.

Back to work. A couple of points to change, I'd suggest:
