Project Description

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The present text covers the whole article, supplemented by authorial footnotes, Hennings' footnotes, and footnotes added at CELT.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Text has been checked and proofread twice. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Text supplied by the CELT editor is marked sup resp="BF". Corrections of typographical and grammatical errors take the form corr sic="" resp="BF", with the original spelling retained as value of the 'sic' attribute.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the edited text. In many cases the spelling differs from the usage of today. Voght's spelling and punctuation is sometimes inconsistent across his writings. This has been allowed to stand as the late 18th-century spelling and punctuation was not so different that a thorough modernization would be necessary to understand the text. The spacing out of text passages in the printed edition has been ignored in the CELT edition.

Quotation

Direct speech is rendered q. One quotation from Arthur Young's Tour in Ireland is tagged using the cit element.

Hyphenation

Soft hyphens are silently removed. Words containing a hard or soft hyphen crossing a page-break or line-break have been placed on the line on which they start.

Segmentation

div0= the journal; page-breaks are marked pb n=""/.

Standard Values

Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd.
