Source: The essays as printed; the essay list was read from the contents page of the OCR, so an essay whose entry the OCR lost is merged into the one before it. Running heads and page numbers are dropped; the OCR was cleaned of line-break hyphens and the commonest recognition slips, and isolated slips remain. Raw text in sources/en-US-originals/.
