Bentham Project staff will be attending the 13th International Society for Utilitarian Studies conference in Yokohama next week, and will then give presentations about TB and our work on the tranScriptorium initiative. Transcripts will continue to be checked during this time, and a progress update will be issued, but it may take longer than usual for us to reply to emails. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience which this may cause.

In the meantime, thank you, as always, to everyone who has contributed to Transcribe Bentham during the last seven days. It remains as warmly appreciated as ever!
