Corpora: Availability of British 18th and 19th Century Corpora

[Christopher Tribble]

Some good starting points are.  These aren't corpora in the sense of being
organised text collections, but they offer a good range of public domain
pre-twentieth century texts (not all of which is fiction/poetry.

  Does anybody have information on the availability of 18th and 19th century
British written corpora?

  I am particulalry interested in material which is freely accessible or
readily downloadable or relatively affordable.

  I am a relative newcomer to this field of research, so all leads are
greatly appreciated.
