The Corpus of Early English Correspondence Sampler

The CEECS is a 450,000 word corpus of English letters from 1418 to 1680. It was published in 1998.

It is a subcorpora of the Corpus of Early English Correspondence, which was compiled for research in historical sociolinguistics. The Sampler corresponds to the non-copyrighted materials of the CEEC.
