I somehow get the feeling that it's not my day ... Yeah, it's a completely open site, at least for the selected transcriptions, though not for the scanned texts they're based on ... Technically the umbrella for a set of universities is the Text Creation Partnership ... Ah, I won't go into details ... Actually, you're probably lucky as the version which I'll now have to find somewhere on my computer is a damn sight more readable than the TCP version. That's one problem with the TCP allegedly digitised text -- at the best, they're fine, at the worst, they're virtually useless if you don't have access to the originals. I'm OK when it comes to pre-1700 texts, since I'm a paid-up member of the Renaissance Society of America, and one of the benefits is access to EEBO. Which was the only reason I joined, to be honest. But when it comes to 18thC texts, I'm still screwed. Right, should backchannel you the goods anon.
