Sorry for all the mistakes in the Appendix, especially for Derbyshire - which I know, and even recall reading in the instructions. :oops:
Anyway, here is the corrected file, as best I could do it:

My apologies also for missing these when you uploaded them.

A small note for both is that beginning at 00:26 there's a duplicate set of "article" titles. We decided that that was a bit repetitive and think it best not recite them all together at the beginning of the section. Rather just launch into the first section with its title.

Also, the article numbers are missing. As there are cross-references, it would be best to include them.
