Eighteenth Century Journals II Online Trial

TU Libraries is currently trialing a new research database, Eighteenth Century Journals II.

Eighteenth Century Journals II includes an impressive collection of 70 eighteenth century newspapers and periodicals, digitally scanned for full-text searching and viewing. Titles included have been carefully screened against EEBO, Early English Newspapers, and ECCO so that there is no duplication. Rare materials - not even held by the British Library - are also included. The collection includes a valuable range of literary and literary-related publications, as well as metropolitan publications.

Topics covered are wide-ranging and include: the writings of Sir Isaac Newton; the French Revolution; reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe; political debates; religion and philosophy, plus coffee house gossip and discussion.

The trial will last until October 23rd.
