Transcription of Barnaby's
Journeys
The transcription is from the English parts of Drunken
Barnaby's Four Journeys to the North of England in Latin and
English Verse, by Richard Brathwaite, 1638, published by
William Williamson, Dublin, Ireland, 1762. The original was
read on the Eighteenth Century Books Online website.
source type: Brathwaite 1638

The transcription of this work is made because Richard
Brathwaite has local relevance; he was born in Burneside,
and sometime lived in Staveley. Other than that I am not
sure that the poetry is very rewarding.
Transcription is letter for letter, retaining the case of
the original, but not text sizes; italics are preserved; the
spellings and grammar have not been altered; square brackets
are used to indicate inferred text. Only the English text is
transcribed; hence the odd pagination, the Latin is on the
opposite page. The catchword usually, but not always, refers
to the next English page.
Indexing
An attempt has been made to index this work; keywords
have been allocated to each page of the transcript. But this
feels a very doubtful procedure and this indexing should
not, perhaps, be used for the download to a website. If it
were to be used then the entries should be edited to make
sense of the period spellings as modern day placenames.
Gazetteer
Extracts have been made to the Old Cumbria Gazetteer.
This can be listed as links from the relevant pages.

Entity References
The opportunity has been taken to experiment with entity
references in the transcription. These will not do anything
useful in MODES for Windows where this data file lives (and
will look odd), but should be effective when the pages are
downloaded into html. It may be necessary to declare the
entities when the data moves into xml.
