I love how our author always finds something to go ranting on about

He'll just leave Washington doing something while explaining some system for nearly an entire chapter

It's good, I like the history!

Thanks
Elijah

Chapter 14 is PL OK!

I too enjoy the broader history incorporated into this life of Washington. It lives up to its title being a good book for students, IMHO, to more fully understand the times in which our first president lived and acted.

Thank you,

Hi Elijah,

Chapter 15 PL notes:

@ 01:36: "… deliberated on the violated rights of their constituents, were part …" read as "… deliberated on the violated rights of their constitutions, were part …"

@ 08:05: Missing text (in red): "declaration of colonial rights." In this were enumerated their natural rights to the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property; and their rights as British subjects. Among the latter was participation in legislative councils. This they could not exercise ...

Also, apologies for the delay in PLing the last couple chapters.

Thank you,

No worries at all!

I do plan to speed up a little bit with the project, but don't feel rushed into PLing too soon. I'm quite patient

Thanks
Elijah

Hey Don, just posting an update that yes I do plan to continue with this project, I am a little backed up in other projects but I do plan to have the next section up within the next week or so. Thank you for your patience and your wonderful work!

Posting again I am still interested! I will probably have the next Chapter up in the next few days! I appreciate your patience!

You do know it would be alright for you to open this up as a group project ? You seem to be enjoying being involved in DRs and other things and LV is supposed to be fun. I'd be quite happy to know you were enjoying yourself here and helping others. You wouldn't be the first reader to decide they didn't want to continue with a long solo - and I doubt you would be the last

I do really enjoy this solo, actually, and I would love to be able to finish it. I appreciate you letting me know though! I'll keep that in mind if it does become not fun with it
