felpeyu2 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hello. I am not sure this is the right place to expose this issue (I was thinking about posting it in the computer science forum, but I decided it was better here). I wrote a python program in orden to solve the beale ciphers (if you don't know what I am talking about you can google it) but my problem is that I need texts avalaible in 1800 in the United States. I don't live in the USA and I am not familiar with internet webs that can possess these texts. So my question is: do you know a website that contains texts from about 1800? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You could try doing a search for: usa 1800 text corpus (or corpora) Or try a linguistics forum/blog. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Here's a list of famous books during that period: Archive.org, it should bring up a list of links to copies that you can download. The Archive.org link I've just posted is also a link to one of the books listed. If you scroll down a bit you will see download options for that title; choose the format that suits your purposes. Here's a copy of The New England Primer (1802), also listed above, in text format: https://ia802608.us.archive.org/15/items/newenglandprimer00fordiala/newenglandprimer00fordiala_djvu.txt Edited March 27, 2017 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
