Abstract
The year 2016 marks the 250th anniversary of the publication of Tobias Smollett’s Travels through France and Italy (1766), which, in the early 21st century, was named one of the greatest travel books of all time. Frank Felsenstein, editor of the 1979 Oxford University Press edition of Smollett’s Travels (and the Broadview Press 2011 edition), discusses the original publication of the book and its reception history, as well as his own recollections of first studying the Travels. He examines the changes in editorial research methods from the time of the typewriter to the era of the internet and the ways in which the electronic archive can be plumbed for yet more exciting revelations about this and other eighteenth-century works.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
