Missing Quotation Mark
Quoted text:
“In fact we call the performers ‘technicians’ and think that a man should not perform except for his own amusement or when he has had a good deal to drink.”[1]
Originally this was missing the open-quotation mark, which we added. This is similar but not exactly the same as from this source:
“But professional musicians we speak of as vulgar people, and indeed we think it not manly to perform music, except when drunk or for fun.”
It is close to this source:
“In fact we call the performers ‘mechanics’ and think that a man should not perform except for his own amusement or when he has had a good deal to drink.”
Should we change the citation link and add a footnote for this other source, or do you have one that is closer to the quotations used in all instances to use across this chapter?
