How bad is my database situation here at billion-dollar-endowment in  capital 
of Texas  UT-Austin?
...
The database Eighteenth Century Journals II was composed from UT-Austin  
Harry Ransom Center materials. UT-Austin doesn't have the database!
...
Maybe Fred can check if the "bulls" and the "bears" are in the database.  
Maybe UT-Austin will get it in a few years...
...
By the way, my Falconer Library (NY) link to Nineteenth Century U.S.  
Newspapers is no more, so say goodbye to that database, too.
...
Just about all that's left is Newspaperarchive--which I personally pay for,  
and which has gone down repeatedly after nearly every search.

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY JOURNALS II 
Newspapers and Periodicals, 1699-1812, from the Harry  Ransom Humanities 
Research Centre, University of Texas at Austin 

This is a fully searchable digital  collection available online with highly 
accurate transcriptions in the original  layout available for every page.  
The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center holds one of the  finest 
collections of 17th and 18th century newspapers and periodicals in the  world. These 
holdings were documented in British Newspapers and Periodicals,  1632-1800, 
compiled by Powell Stewart in 1950. More recent acquisitions have  further 
enhanced these collections. 
The titles chosen from HRC for this project have been  screened carefully 
against EEBO, Early English Newspapers and ECCO so that there  is no duplication 
whatsoever with these projects. The material reproduced in  this new digital 
project covers many rare items not held by the British  Library. 
The 70 titles include items such as: 
• The History of the Works of the Learned, 1699-1702  
• The Post-Angel, 1701-1702 
• The Free-Thinker, 1711 
• The Plain  Dealer, 1712 
• The Lay-Monk, 1713-1714 
• The Grumbler, 1715 
• The  Censor, 1715-1717 
• The Present State of the Republick of Letters, 1728-1736  
• Parker’s Penny Post, 1732-1733 
• B Berington’s Evening Post, 1733  
• The Dublin Evening Post, 1736
• The Champion, 1739–1740 
• The York  Courant, 1742

Dear Barry Popik, 

Thank you for contacting us regarding the  Eighteenth
Century Journal II online database. We currently do
not have  this up and running at the University of
Texas; it seems to be held up by red  tape. It should
be available sometime in the first quarter of  2007,
though, and it will be available at the Harry Ransom
Center as well  as online through the U.T. Libraries
site. We are anxious for it to become  available.

Thanks again for contacting us. If you have any
further  questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Kurt  Johnson
