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).

ALL Polite Nations , at this Time , acting in a manner by Concert , in the Design of Rescuing their Antiquities from Oblivion ; and in Collecting and Digesting into Catalogues such Manuscripts and Ancient Monuments , as may conduce to clear their Origine , and establish the Truth of their Histories . In like manner , the Faculty of Advocates , for that , and other Ends , have Erected their Library , which , in a short time , is very much Advanc'd ; and of late , has had a considerable Addition of Manuscripts . But there being many Manuscripts and Monuments of Antiquity , in the Hands of several Persons , or in the Charter Chests of Ancient Families , which , if still keep 't Latent , will be Useless to the Publick , and expos'd to many Accidents , that are prevented by their lying in a publick Library . Therefore it is earnestly desired , That the Havers of any such , whether Histories , Chartularies of Monasteries , Old Charters , or other Manuscripts whatsoever , would be pleas'd to send them in to the Advocates Library ; where such Benefactors , and their Donatives , shall be Faithfully Recorded , and Honourable Mention also made of Them , in publick Catalogues , to be Printed by the Faculty . All other Persons likewise , who are Possessors of , and who design to Sell , any such Manuscripts , are also Invited to bring them in ; And the Curators of the said Library will Pay them therefore , to their Satisfaction .
