EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

Colonel Owſley, (ſince his Shot upon the Belly, and upon recovery) ſent out a Detachment of his Horſe ſeventeen miles into the Iriſh Quarters (beyond our Frontiers) who upon Sunday 18 Inſtant put to flight the Iriſh, and brought back Fourhunder'd Black Cattle, Three hunder'd Sheep and Lambs, and Eighty Horſe, whereof about Twenty fit to ſerve for Dragoons.

An Intelligence from Dublin informs, that the French have begun to Fire the Suburbs, in order to make the City more defenſive, and leſs obnoxious to our Incurſions and Bombs. 'Tis believed they will burn every place they deſert, on deſign to prevent our Winter Quarters near them in Houſes, and to enforce us to encamp, whereby the cold Weather might deſtroy our Army.

At preſent all Affairs wait the Kings Arrival, (which God grant ſafe and ſpeedy,) and then a method of marching will ſoon follow.

The Quarters of the Army uncertain, being every day rowling, & much ſcatter'd.

Note, Tho each Troop and Company are ſaid to have the foregoing Numbers. of Men, yet few or none are full; neither have they Arms for near the Number, and many are arm'd with Scythes

The French Recruits, Landed this Spring, are not incerted.

But 'tis obſervable, That the Iriſh and French cannot march into Field with this Number, nor Encamp, becauſe by all reaſonable Conjecture, their Garriſons will require, VIZ. Dublin 7000. Drogheda 3000. Cork 1000 Kingſail 3000. Limerick 2000. Galway 2000. Athlone 2000.

Alſo their Policy is to defer the War upon a Defence; hoping the Braſs Pay will exhauſt the Engliſh Current Coyn.

The Keys of Dublin are in French Hands: The Bomb-Carts and Carriages Painted with Flower de Luces. So that the Diſtinction is not ſo much William and James, as England and France, or Proteſtant and Papiſt.
