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).

A
Copy
of
Coll.
Wosely's
Letter
,
to
his
Grace
Duke
Schonberg
.
Licens'd
,
February
28.
1690
.
May
it
please
your
Grace
,
I
Send
this
to
give
Your
Grace
an
Account
of
a
Fight
I
had
yesterday
with
the
Enemy
at
Cavan
.
On
Munday
at
four
a
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
I
left
this
place
,
with
a
Detachment
of
700
Foot
,
and
300
Horse
and
Dragoons
;
I
passed
the
River
about
Twelve
at
Night
,
within
two
Miles
of
Ballibays
,
where
were
two
of
the
Enemies
Scouts
,
who
gave
the
Signal
of
our
Motion
,
by
firing
several
Musquets
down
the
River
,
and
making
a
Fire
on
a
high
Hill.
I
carried
all
my
Men
over
about
One
a
Clock
,
and
intended
to
be
at
Cavan
an
hour
before
day
;
but
the
Miles
were
so
much
lorger
than
I
expected
,
and
the
way
so
dirty
,
and
the
difficulties
so
many
,
that
I
got
not
thither
until
half
an
hour
after
Day
break
;
and
when
I
came
there
,
I
found
what
I
did
not
expect
:
The
Duke
of
Berwick
who
came
there
the
Night
before
with
2500
Men
,
with
which
,
and
the
Men
of
the
Garrison
,
made
a
Body
of
4000
Men
;
all
drawn
up
in
very
good
Order
before
the
Town
,
and
near
the
Fort.
As
soon
as
I
disposed
my
Men
as
the
Ground
would
give
me
leave
,
I
Charged
them
,
and
after
an
Hours
Dispute
,
we
beat
the
in
all
out
of
the
Field
into
the
Fort
:
The
Duke
had
his
Horse
shot
under
him
,
and
be
in
the
Thigh
.
Coll.
O
Riely
,
who
was
Governour
of
the
Town
,
was
killed
on
the
place
,
with
two
Lieutenant-Collonels
,
one
a
French-man
,
the
other
one
Geogbagan
an
Irish-man
,
in
great
esteem
with
them
.
Most
of
our
M●n
unhappily
fell
on
the
Plunder
,
both
on
the
Field
,
and
in
the
Town
,
so
that
we
were
in
the
greatest
confusion
imaginable
,
which
the
Enemy
seeing
from
the
Fort
,
made
a
very
strong
Sally
upon
us
,
and
came
on
so
briskly
,
that
I
thought
all
had
been
loss
:
I
went
with
all
the
speed
I
could
to
a
place
where
I
had
placed
some
Detatchments
of
Foot
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
fight
,
who
had
not
been
engaged
at
all
,
and
as
Providence
had
ordered
,
found
them
all
there
,
being
about
250
;
with
those
,
and
about
80
Horse
and
Dragoons
,
I
opposed
the
Enemy
,
whom
I
judged
to
be
about
1500
;
and
about
the
same
time
,
seeing
it
impossible
to
get
our
Men
out
of
the
Town
,
I
sent
an
Officer
with
a
Party
of
Horse
,
and
ordered
him
to
Fire
the
Town
,
which
was
immediatly
done
,
and
by
that
means
the
Soldiers
were
forced
to
quit
it
,
and
having
joyned
those
that
were
Fighting
,
we
drove
,
the
Enemy
like
Sheep
into
the
Fort
;
which
being
a
strong
place
,
and
full
of
Men
,
and
our
Men
Fatigued
with
Marching
all
Night
,
I
did
not
think
fit
to
Attacque
it
.
In
this
first
Action
,
those
that
were
Engaged
,
behaved
themselves
very
well
;
it
was
very
unfortunate
to
us
,
that
the
Soldiers
falling
on
the
Plunder
,
put
me
udder
a
necessity
of
burning
the
Town
;
for
there
was
as
much
provision
in
it
as
would
have
served
this
Garis
;
on
Six
Months
,
all
the
Houses
being
full
of
Bread
,
Meal
,
and
Wheat
,
and
vast
quantities
of
Oats
and
Beans
.
The
Prisoners
give
an
Account
,
That
the
D.
of
Berwick
was
to
Command
a
Body
at
Cavan
of
10000
Men
,
which
were
to
be
made
up
out
of
a
Detatchment
out
of
the
whole
Army
;
and
the
first
place
he
was
to
Attacquc
was
this
:
which
was
to
be
done
this
day
.
This
,
I
believe
,
was
the
Army
Your
Grace
had
so
frequent
intelligence
of
;
But
I
suppose
the
neck
of
the
Design
is
now
quite
broke
,
we
having
destroyed
all
their
Provisions
both
for
Horse
and
Man
:
And
what
,
I
believe
,
is
a
greater
loss
to
them
(
we
having
blown
up
)
their
Ammunition
which
was
in
Town
.
As
soon
as
my
Men
are
refreshed
,
I
'le
have
another
bout
with
them
for
the
Fort
,
which
,
I
believe
,
they
will
quite
of
themselves
,
for
they
have
no
Provisions
or
Cover
for
their
Men
;
and
I
do
not
see
bow
they
can
well
keep
it
,
now
the
Town
is
destroy'd
.
I
have
receiv'd
your
Grace's
Instructions
about
the
Fortifications
and
Garison
,
which
shall
be
carefully
observed
;
I
prefume
Your
Grace
will
send
another
Engineer
,
for
Cap
,
Blood
was
shot
yesterday
in
the
Side
,
and
I
do
not
know
how
long
it
will
be
before
he
will
be
in
a
condition
to
go
abroad
.
I
do
not
find
we
have
lost
above
Twenty
Men
,
and
I
think
the
Enemy
lost
not
above
Two
or
Three
Hundred
Men.
Our
greatest
lost
fell
on
my
Regiment
;
for
my
Major
,
and
two
of
the
best
Captains
I
had
,
were
killed
;
That
is
,
Capt.
Armstrong
,
and
Cap.
Mayo
.
We
have
taken
of
the
Enemy
,
Prisoners
,
four
Captains
,
five
Lieutenants
,
two
Ensigns
,
and
a
Quarter-master
.
