(Copyright in the transcription remains with JandMN, authors of this website). All files ascii text files, readable by a wide variety of software:- Transcript with editorial notes in a well formed xml file. Transcript with editorial notes in a tagged text file. Transcript only in a simple text file. Comma delimited file of place data.
xml text	The transcript and editorial notes are presented as a well formed xml document. The structure is not declared, but is derived from TEI, the Text Encoding Initiative. The xml document is placed in a new window; this has to be closed by hand when you have finished with it.

text only	The transcript is presented as ascii text with a few markers for page breaks, etc. The ascii text opens in a new window; this has to be closed by hand when you have finished with it.
place data	Raw data from the Old Cumbria Gazetteer has been downloaded in comma delimited form for places that are described in Simpson's Agreeable Historian, 1746. The data is suitable for loading into a flat table, as used by dBase, Access, Oracle and other relational table systems. The limitations of such systems make it impossible to provide the full data from the original MODES database which works on more powerful principles. Fields The fields in the table are:- source the source type abbreviation; eg Simpson 1746 source refce the page where the description can be found (P number); eg SMP3P013.htm source quote how the place is named in the source; eg 'Sled-Dale' source placename a regularised version of the text's placename; eg Sled Dale modern placename the definitive placename used in the Old Cumbria Gazetteer; eg Longsleddale civil parish the modern civil parish (post 1974) where the place is; eg:- Longsleddale county the modern county where the place is; eg:- Cumbria country the modern country where the place is; eg:- England coordinates a national grid reference for the place; eg:- NY482056 10Km square a 2 figure grid reference for the place; eg:- NY40 gazetteer page the webpage filename for the place as downloaded from the gazetteer; eg:- LK08591.htm Places are not necessarily in alphabetical order.
