 	The frequency list from the Brown Corpus of written American 
English ca. 1962 is available from the Oxford Text Archive:

<http://ota.ahds.ac.uk/headers/0668.xml>

 	The list is available in print form (ha!) and can be cited in 
either form as:

 	The corpus itself (about a million words) is available on the 
ICAME CD for about $500 USD:
