No sir, 'Ada' does not contain 203000 words but only 174000, not according to my calculations but to my PC (I had to offer myself a digital copy to work on the German commentary).
This gives me occasion to ask the List a minuscule question: Would anybody have an idea what author and book the title 'Salzman' refers to, occurring five times (pp. 459, 476, 477, 486)?
