PROPOSAL, By Doctor Hugh Chamberlen, For a Land Credit, presented to the Parliament, By the Committee, to whom it was referred to be Considered.

PRimo, That by an Act of Parliament, The Sum of 300000 lib. sterling, should be struck, and made current in Talleys or Notes, of different Denominations.

Secundo, That an Office, consisting of privat Persons, should be appointed by the Parliament, for lending these Talleys out at 5 percent, upon the best Land Securitie.

Tertio, That the principal Sums borrowed in these Talleys, shall never be repayed, only the Lands of such who borrow, shall be burdened with the said 5 per cent interest, for the space of 25 years.

Quarto. That four of the said five per cent interest, payed yearly in Talleys shall be destroyed by the Office, so that at the end of 25 years or thereby, there shall not be one Talley in the Kingdom.

Quinto. That one per cent of the said five of Interest, should be imployed for defraying the necessary Charge of the Office; Or, otherwise, as the Parliament shall think Convenient.

An Example of this Proposal:

IF 300000 lib. sterling in Talleys, be lent out at five per cent Interest, Then this Interest will Extend to 15000 lib. sterling yearly, of which 15000 lib. sterling. The Sum of 12000 lib: sterling being 4 of the said five per cent shall be payed in Talleys and yearly destroyed by the Office, but the remaining 3000 lib. being one of the said 5 percent, shall go for defraying the necessary Charges of the Office.

The Heretors who borrow the said 300000 lib. sterling, shall continue paying punctually the said 5 per cent Interest for the same, during the space of 25 years, at the end of which Term their Land shall be free, and the principal shall never be returned, for by destroying the foresaid 12000 lib. sterling yearly of the Talleys, all shall be returned in the foresaid space of 25 years, because 12000 multiplyed by 25 [...] makes 300000. which is the compleat Sum of the Talleys.

The Honourable Estates of Parliament, may be pleased here to observe That the Doctor does not limit this Proposal to a certain definit Sum, nor to a certain limited time; for the Parliament, if they think it proper, may condescend upon any Sum, greater, or lesser, to be repayed within any Term of years.

Editorial practices

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).
