Insomnia Collection, vol. 5, by various authors
full contents (19h 46m)
with: "The Privy Purse Expences of King Henry the Eighth, from November MDXXIX, to December MDXXXII", by Nicholas Harris Nicolas (1827) - text / audio (1h 3m)
LibriVox periodically puts out these "Insomnia Collection" anthologies, where volunteers are asked to submit any public-domain text of their choosing as long as it's (1) read in a soothing tone and (2) boring. As the title implies, they're meant to help you fall asleep. For my section, I randomly found a lengthy analysis of Henry VIII's account books by a British antiquarian of the Georgian era, and read the first hour or so of it. I can't tell you much about the other pieces in Insomnia Collection vol. 5, because I couldn't get through them, because they are boring, so I guess everyone did their jobs.
