Hello!

Great, that one would be a good start.

This one is a little more complicated than usual but shouldn't be too
bad. There's a lot of front matter, with a dedication, intro, "epistle
dedicatory", so that requires a half title page. There are also
subchapters to each chapter, which should have their own <section
epub:type="z3998:subchapter">. There are also a few footnotes that have
to be pulled out into endnotes. Robin will manage with Emma reviewing.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish. Please follow
it exactly:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can assign you a manager and reviewer.

Have fun! :)
