	"""This corpus consists of two collections of seventeenth-century English "newsbooks". Both were drawn from the Thomason Tracts collection, which is held at the British Library and available in graphical form via Early English Books Online (EEBO). The construction of these keyboarded versions were in both cases funded by the British Academy.
	The FIRST collection (1654_newsbooks) consists of every newsbook published in London and still surviving in the Thomason Tracts from the first half of 1654 (to be precise, for the second half of December 1653 to the end of May 1654, with one or two additions from the first week in June, 1654). This was constructed for the project "Looking at text re-use in a corpus of seventeenth-century news reportage", funded by the British Academy, grant reference SG-33825.
	The SECOND collection (mercurius_fumigosus) consists of every surviving issue published of the highly idiosyncratic newsbook "Mercurius Fumigosus", written by John Crouch between summer 1654 and early autumn 1655. This was constructed for the project "Decoding the news - Mercurius Fumigosus as a source of news in the interregnum, 1654-1655", funded by the British Academy, grant reference LRG-35423.
