The Oxford Text Archive has recently acquired the Lampeter Corpus of Early
Modern Materials. It comprises 120 complete pamphlets and tracts published
between 1640 and 1740. The Corpus can be downloaded complete, and at
present there is also a basic seachable version. All free of charge for
scholarly research!
further details of the Corpus can be found at:

Please contact me for further details on how to access the material.
