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 <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).

This
Morning
came
in
an
Express
from
my
Lord
Berkeley
,
with
an
Account
of
the
Bombarding
of
CALAIS
.
Published
by
Authority
.
MY
Lord
Berkeley
anchored
with
the
Fleet
before
Calais
the
16th
of
this
month
,
but
it
proving
too
calm
,
nothing
was
done
till
next
day
,
when
about
11
in
the
morning
Colonel
Richards
,
with
the
Bomb
Vessels
,
stood
in
to
the
Eastward
of
the
Town
,
and
Anchoring
in
3
Fathom
Water
,
began
to
Bombard
it
with
such
good
Success
,
that
by
one
a
Clock
the
Town
was
seen
on
Fire
in
several
places
;
at
which
time
the
Enemies
half
Gallies
came
out
,
and
stood
to
the
Eastward
under
their
own
Shore
,
thinking
thereby
to
annoy
the
Bomb
Ships
;
but
our
Brigantines
,
and
several
Men
of
War
standing
in
to
them
,
Commanded
by
Captain
Greenaway
,
gave
them
such
a
Reception
,
as
put
them
in
great
Confusion
,
and
with
much
ado
they
regained
the
Peer-heads
;
After
which
we
received
no
other
disturbance
than
the
usual
Salutes
of
their
Cannon
and
Mortars
from
their
several
Batteries
.
Our
Bomb
Vessels
continued
firing
till
towards
5
at
Night
,
during
which
time
we
Shot
into
the
Town
about
600
Shells
,
which
by
the
several
Fires
we
saw
,
we
judge
to
have
done
very
considerable
Execution
.
We
have
received
little
Damage
,
either
as
to
Men
killed
,
or
Damage
done
to
our
Vessels
.
Captain
Osborne
of
the
Alborough
Ketch

could
not
keep
way
with

;
And
on
the
12th
a
Dutch
Vessel
was
taken
out
of
their
Company
by
3
French
Privateers
,
but
the

Frigat
coming
in
,
gave
Chace
to
them
.
