Arthur,

That's excellent news. With all due respect to Brumgnach and his
tremendous passion for the project, much appreciated on this end,
please consider revising many uses of "is" prevalent in the first
chapter sample online at his site. Although I read it briefly, to
avoid spoilers, it's a disappointment to find the Sandorf text
somewhat pedestrian, wooden. More than likely a work in progress as
the amount of time required for translations must be enormous.

However, under your guiding light, I imagine Wesleyan will no doubt
once again hit the ball out of the park.

Please feature Illustrations. And map if possible!

Cyrus
