Thank you, as always, to everyone who has contributed to Transcribe Bentham during the last seven days. The rate of transcription for 2014 – an average of 105 transcripts edited each week, or 120 week since mid-March – has been enormously impressive, and we look to be going out on the year on a remarkable high. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by us all.
