Perhaps you can explain why you think it is irrelevant?
because that text is available all over the web. i didn't start with the project gutenberg e-text simply because it doesn't properly mark italics, and a blind conversion from uppercase to italics will produce some errors, and you won't know it. but as i said, there are plenty of websites with proper italics, some of which do not appear to have been generated using a blind conversion. it's very simple, using google, to find these sites. but if you can't do it, let me know and i will give you some very specific pointers where i got text. until we have a scan-set online to check for errors, i'm relatively satisfied that my text is accurate now. how i boiled it down from several sources is irrelevant. -bowerbird
