| dc.description.abstract | The date range is 1761-90. About 300,000 words have been transcribed and corrected. The corpus is currently in two forms: plain text with COCOA-style annotations, like the Helsinki corpus and HTML. The files are extended (8-bit) Ascii (ANSI/Windows default coding), and the text is coded as far as possible according to the conventions used in the Helsinki Corpus, that is, with COCOA-style brackets giving information on writer, date, page breaks, etc, enclosed within carets.
