Sorry if this is a gross missuse of this group's bandwidth! I've x-posted into comp.text.sgml, which is relevant of sorts I am looking for places (hopefully free, via ftp) to get machine readable text (list deleted) For anonymous FTP from the directory sgml.math.lsa.umich.edu:/pub/sgml/oxford-text-archive you will find a list of texts which are available (for a fee) from the Oxford Text Archive and a description of how to get them. Use of the texts is generally limited to private scholarly research or when authorized for teaching purposes, and there may be other and more strict restrictions. The list of available texts is pretty long. Beyond that there's the Open Book Initiative led by Barry Shein, I don't know what sort of a corpus he has available & how extensive it is, and also something called Project Gutenberg. I'll pass on extensive descriptions of each cause I don't have them. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept moderator, comp.archives
