Alongside correcting specific mistranscriptions, I’ve been working on correcting word endings, such as ‘fiire’ for shire and ‘mcnt’ for ment; and I have also been cleaning up random junk and stray marks generally interpreted by Abbyy Finereader as punctuation or symbols.<\/p>\n

There is now a complete run from 1851 to 1880.\u00a0 Find them on Github<\/a>.<\/p>\n Added to this site: New bibliographies for the various collections of British statutes.
