     When I try to use it, I get "Session expired. Click here 
<http://googlebooks.byu.edu/> to start new session."

     In theory, though, all the books are available for free from 
http://books.google.com/ .  In the Google ngram interface at 
http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/ there are links to date ranges.  If you 
click on those you will see a date range result for the search term on 
the Google Books website.  You can then click the "Plain text" link in 
the upper right hand corner to see the OCRed text.  Then you can 
appreciate how rough some of the OCR has been.
