In this update there are also a substantial number of works by Chesterton, and, contrasting nicely, by James Witcomb Riley. --Steve

September 20th

Well! a busy weekend (see what gets accomplished when it rains 3" a day, every day?). Lots of Bob's, Art's and Nelson's contributions are added in this cellar-cleaning update, along with a fair number of index entries added from one of the additional books Bob recently placed online. There are, conservatively, 150-200 additional works that we have online, but I still need to index. Also with this update there are a significant number of technical corrections and fixes to typographical errors (which hopefully you hadn't noticed anyway). The input queue of works to upload is down in the 20-30 range for the first time in a while. --Steve
