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
PROPOSAL
To
Make
Good
the
Coyn
of
this
Kingdom
,
Without
Diminishing
the
Species
thereof
.
WHEREAS
the
great
Difficulty
that
appears
in
bringing
this
Matter
to
bare
,
proceeds
from
the
Consideration
,
That
the
Calling
in
all
the
Clipt
Money
,
(
being
so
general
)
will
occasion
a
great
stop
in
Trade
,
the
Market
thereby
not
able
to
be
Supply'd
,
besides
the
many
further
Inconveniences
that
may
Naturally
arise
:
YET
the
Necessity
for
our
Moneys
to
be
Regulated
is
such
,
That
it
were
much
more
Eligible
to
be
subject
to
the
hazard
of
such
mischiefs
,
than
not
put
a
stop
to
that
growing
evil
:
Both
which
to
prevent
,
it
's
Humbly
Proposed
as
an
expedient
to
render
it
easy
and
practicable
,
as
followeth
:
THAT
a
FUND
(
being
made
for
a
Lottery
of
a
Million
,
or
more
,
if
thought
fit
,
to
be
Advanced
by
such
Persons
only
as
shall
purchase
their
Interest
by
bringing
in
Plate
;
forthwith
to
be
Coined
before
the
Clipt
Money
be
called
in
)
would
certainly
Answer
in
lieu
of
Ballion
,
to
give
an
immediate
Supply
to
the
Market
,
keep
our
Money
circulating
,
and
remove
all
Objections
.
THE
Quantity
of
the
Superfluous
Plate
in
this
Kingdom
is
so
considerable
.
which
,
together
with
the
Useless
Plate
in
Publick
Houses
,
being
Prohibited
,
it
's
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
One
Million
,
at
least
,
would
be
soon
Advanced
.
ESPECIALLY
when
we
consider
the
Price
that
Plate
now
bares
,
and
how
desirous
the
People
are
of
coming
into
another
Lottery
,
as
plainly
appears
by
the
Prizes
and
Blanks
in
the
Million
Adventure
,
when
once
past
the
hopes
of
another
Lottery
,
this
Sessions
Advanc'd
from
Six
Years
Purchase
to
Seven
and
an
half
.
THE
Way
and
Method
for
all
such
Persons
as
intend
to
be
Proprietors
in
this
Adventure
is
Propos'd
,
that
they
carry
their
Plate
to
the
Mint
,
there
to
receive
Tickets
according
to
the
Value
,
Accounting
so
many
Ounces
as
shall
be
proportioned
to
a
Ticket
,
and
for
every
odd
Sum
that
shall
happen
over
and
above
,
to
receive
a
Note
for
the
same
,
Payable
at
a
certain
time
,
after
Coming
.
BUT
if
if
it
shall
be
thought
fit
to
have
such
Plate
brought
into
the
Bank
,
on
the
same
Conditions
as
above
,
thence
to
be
Transmitted
to
the
Mint
,
to
return
in
Coin
;
the
Mint
will
be
greatly
eas'd
,
considering
the
Work
upon
their
hands
,
and
the
Money
made
much
more
Defusive
.
FOR
the
Bank
thereby
being
enabled
to
answer
the
Defficiency
of
the
Mint
,
all
Persons
of
Worth
and
Credit
,
that
shall
bring
their
Money
to
be
Coin'd
,
will
readily
take
Notes
upon
the
Bank
,
for
what
shall
fall
short
,
which
being
for
their
ease
;
and
having
a
free
Credit
,
the
Million
in
Specie
will
remain
in
the
Bank
to
supply
the
Poorer
sort
of
People
,
that
can
afford
no
Credit
,
having
no
more
than
bare
Subsistance
.
SO
consequently
,
The
Bank
will
supply
the
Mint
,
and
the
Mint
be
able
to
supply
the
Bank
before
Occasion
:
Therefore
no
possibility
of
Stoppage
in
Commerce
,
or
want
of
Current
Money
.
BY
these
means
,
not
only
the
present
Occasion
is
answered
,
by
Facilitating
the
Coynage
of
all
the
Clipt
Money
,
but
a
Million
in
Specie
is
created
more
;
without
which
,
it
's
directly
linking
a
Million
from
what
was
in
the
Nation
before
,
which
is
conceiv'd
can
hardly
be
spared
at
this
time
.
THE
Proposer
craves
leave
further
to
Observe
,
that
considering
the
Honourable
the
House
of
Commons
has
so
far
proceeded
in
Relation
to
the
Regulating
this
intollerable
Abuse
,
if
not
effectually
Rem●dy'd
this
Sessions
,
it
has
given
such
an
Alarum
,
that
,
before
the
next
Sessions
,
it
will
be
,
in
a
mann●●i●●●ssible
to
preserve
any
one
piece
of
Money
,
that
is
now
of
Good
Value
,
from
receiving
the
same
Injury
:
And
how
far
this
will
add
to
the
Misfortune
of
the
Nation
,
is
Humbly
submitted
to
their
Great
Wisdom
.
