The Eighteenth Century : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive – Dropsafe

2023-11

So Jason Scott dropped this earlier today:

136,000 books from the 18th Century. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND OF THEM. That would be a point of pride in any library. Making it readable from the Internet, browsable, and downloadable? A pipe dream. Anyway, here they are. https://mastodon.archive.org/@textfiles/111355884433387811

And I’ve gone to have a look at them; me being me, the first thing I did was to punch the word cypher into the “text content” search engine, and got 7,296 results with apparently a substantial chunk (majority?) relating to Mary, Queen of Scots.

I shall enjoy picking through this.
