Paul Dargue
Dear Paul,
I hope you don’t mind my sending you a brief message. My name is Tim Causer, and I’m the editor of the texts comprising Bentham’s ‘Writings on Australia’, which are due to be published online in pre-publication form very soon. In due course they will be published in final form, as part of ‘The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham’, by Oxford University Press.
Your contribution to Transcribe Bentham has been used in the preparation of these texts, and we would like to publicly thank and acknowledge your efforts in the preface. I was wondering if you are happy to be acknowledged, and if so, how you would like to be referred to in the preface. Needless to say, if you would prefer not to be acknowledged then that is perfectly okay!
Do let me know if you have any further questions, either here or at t.causer@ucl.ac.uk.
With very best wishes, and my sincere thanks for your contribution,
Tim
Welcome to the Transcribe Bentham project and thank you for your first transcript of JB/116/296/001, which was an excellent effort. We have made a few small changes to your transcript which can be viewed at [1]. Unfortunately, we do not have a standardised way to transcribe Bentham’s tables at the moment. You set out the information clearly however and we have just added paragraph tags to each row of the table. These tags mean that the transcript can be saved as a TEI-compliant XML file (a standard format for electronic texts). Thanks again for your submission and we look forward to receiving more of your transcripts in the future!
