Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

NEW-YEAR VERSES, FOR THOSE WHO CARRY THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE TO THE CUSTOMERS. JANUARY, 1, 1784. HOW Things have chang'd ſince laſt New-Year, What diſmal Proſpects then aroſe! Scarce at your Doors I dar'd appear, So multifarious were our Woes: But Time at length has chang'd the Scene, Our Proſpects now are more ſerene. Bad News we brought you every Day, Your Seamen ſlain, your Ships on Shore, The Army fretting for their Pay— 'Twas well they had not fretted more! 'Twas wrong indeed to wear out Shoes, To bring you nothing but bad News. Now let's be joyful for the change— The Folks that guard the Engliſh Throne Have giv'n us ample Room to range, And more, perhaps, than was their own; To Weſtern Lakes they ſtretch our Bounds, And yield the Indian Hunting Grounds. But pray read on another Year, Remain the humble News-man's Friend; And he'll engage to let you hear What Europe's Princes next intend.— E'en now their Brains are all at work, To rouſe the Ruſſian on the Turk. Well—if they fight, then fight they muſt, They are a ſtrange, contentious Breed; One good Effect will be, I truſt, The more that's kill'd, the more you'll read; For 〈◊〉 Experience •• lly ſhews, THAT WRANGLING IS THE LIFE OF NEWS.
