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).

A Particular Account of the Late Great Engagement In the North of IRELAND, With the Total Defeat of the IRISH, and after the Killing 6000 of the Iriſh on the Place, the taking their Baggage and Ammunition, and the Scots and Engliſh remaining Maſters of the Fields.

BY a Ship arrived from Drogheda to Leverpoole, we have this Advice certainly confirmed, Tyrconnell having according to his Reſolutions in Council, ſent an Army of Twenty Two Thouſand Men, whereof the one half were Horſe, to Suppreſs with all Expedition the Proteſtants then and now in Arms in the North, the Scots having early notice of their Reſolutions and Motions, were reſolv'd to Advance, and Divert their Enemies as far from their own Habitations and Countrey as they could, boldly drew together about Nine or Ten Thouſand Men, and March'd as far as H • y • elsburgh, in the County of Downe, where they firſt lighting on the Forlorn-Hope of the Iriſh, with abundance of Reſolution and Courage, they Attack'd them, and though they were compoſ'd of the flower of Tyrconnell's Army, they with the firſt Onſet Routed, and put them to flight, with ſuch Confuſion, that they run upon their own Foot, who were advancing, and very much diſorder'd them, when by this time the Engliſh coming upon them, occaſioned a very brisk Diſpute, being almoſt twice the Number, came on firſt with all ſeeming Reſolution, and being Encouraged by their Officers, who were continually buzzing their Religion, Loyalty, and the ſmallneſs of their Enemies numbers; they ſtood the firſt Brunt pretty boldly; but the Engliſh who knew their Lives and Fortunes depended almoſt on their preſent performance, at leaſt being the firſt tryal, it ſhould ſo encourage the Iriſh, and diſhearten the Proteſtants, that it might much threaten their Total Ruin, they preſt with ſuch Vigour on them, that they were no longer able to endure, but with all Expedition Retreating, many of them threw down their Arms, and left the Engliſh total Maſters of the Field. The Number of the Slain, conſidering the inequality of the Forces, were vaſtly advantagious on the Engliſh ſide, for of the Iriſh were Slain Six Thouſand Three Hundred, beſides many Priſoners, and ſome of them Officers; of the Scots and Engliſh not quite Four Thouſand, and thoſe not near ſo well Arm'd as the Iriſh. This firſt Succeſs has very much enliven'd the poor Proteſtants, and diſhearten'd the Iriſh; who begin to apprehend what Diſadvantages they ly under, when ſo ſmall a Number, ſo ill Arm'd, were able to Defeat the moſt ſelect part of their whole Army, and do very much Dread the approach of the Engliſh Forces, who with all Expedition, (ſome being already on Board) are to be ſent to the Relief of the poor Proteſtants, and total, (as we hope) Suppreſſion of thoſe Rebellious Miſcreants.
