Marischall Colledge of Aberdeen, June 2d, 1699. Imprint suggested by Wing. Reproduction of original in the Aberdeen University Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. 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 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).

The humble Representation of the Principall and Masters of the Marischall Colledge of ABERDEEN in SCOTLAND . Sheweth , THat the Edifice of our Colledge having , from its first founding after the Reformation from Popery , continued mean and incapable to lodge our Students , or allow conveniency for our publick Solemnities ; We being pressed with the daily Disadvantages of so small and incommodious a Building , were forced to begin a New-Work , which by the favour of Heaven and charitable Contributions of pious Persons we have now near compleated : and is so spacious , stately and convenient , that its no less an Ornament to the City , then an Advantage to the Colledge . And as this Work hath been much advanced , and in a great measure carried on by the Charity of our worthy Countrey-Men in Dantzick , Konnings-berg , Elbing and other Forreign Parts ( all whose Memories shall ever be honoured by Us , and some of Whom for their great Liberality have Chambers appointed in the said New-work for their Name and Friends ) and our money being now exhausted , in order to the perfecting and furnishing of the Fabrick , we are under a Necessity of having Recourse to the Piety of Those of Our Countrey-Men who have not had Opportunity to extend their Charity for so good a Work. And therefore have Recommended to Our trusty and good Friend Mr. James Robertson Merchant , ( whose love to Religion and Learning , and kindness to this Town and Colledge have Encouraged Us to offer Him this Trouble ) that He may present this Our Address to all Those who are true Lovers of their Countrey , and wish the Advancement of Religion , and Increass of Learning ; And that he or any intrusted by him may receive from them what Contributions they shall be pleased to allow for the finishing of our New-Work ; and as We shall never be wanting to offer up our Prayers for the Prosperity of our Benefactors ; so we shal duely Record the Names of all Those who are pleased to allow Us any Assistance in Our Publick Registers , and by the Monuments of Our Gratitude render the Memory of their Charity as lasting as the Society on which it is bestowed . This is solemnly Promised and shall be Inviolably and Faithfully Performed by June 2d 1699. MARISCHALL Colledge of ABERDEEN , IAMES OSBURN T. P. GEORGE LIDDELL S. M. P. ROBERT PATERSON Principal .
