Further Notes
| Note on Gutenberg Project |
All of the files made available from this page are written in HTML format and - unlike the PDF-style versions of EPUB and KINDLE, they often display typographical errors of the usual kind stemming from scanning and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - e.g., <m> for <rn>, <aU> for <all>, and <L> for <l.> In order to read or download the volumes in any other format - e.g., EPUB or Kindle - please return to the Works page of Ricorso and click the online link against each volume there. Otherwise, shorten the URL in your browser to the address www.gutenberg.org/files followed by the number of the volume in question. (This will be repeated in respect of the various formats for the files of each kind associated with the title.)
When you reach the main page assigned for each volume and its alternative formats in Gutenberg you will also be able to choose from the various sites and mirror-sites available for downloading with greatest speed, depending on frequency of use, traffic and location. This is entirely a matter of trial and error. Given the low download figures listed in Gutenberg for Irish antiquarian texts - in comparison with the classics of Gothic fiction, for example - download times are not often a problem.
Where Irish historical texts are concerned, however, the traffic is usually the tables of contents have been copied here as providing more convenient access for the Irish-studies specialist from this website and is not intended to be in any sense a republication of that material. |
