The corpus has been built from an electronic version of the Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of London and comprises c. 35 million tokens from the period 1665-1869 (see Table 1). The motivation for building a corpus from this material is to investigate the diachronic development of written scientific English.</div>
