I shall not, at present, argue the great question of the portability or transmissibility of cholera by means only of human intercourse.

What is this educational idea'? Certainly, it must be international. It must imply some motive lying outside and beyond ourselves.

Najm had said that the Dead Sea was visible from any slight elevation in this neighbourhood, so Peacocke and I climbed one of the low hills to the west, in the hope of seeing it.

RELIGION. The religion of the pre-Aryan inhabitants of Britain was a nature-worship which included certain animals among its divinities. The Celtic religious system was likewise a nature-cult, but resembled that of the Greeks, Latins, and other Aryans in deifying abstract ideas rather than material objects. Hence the g... |
The question respecting the liberty of the human will has been discussed in nearly the same manner as the ideal philosophy. The leading features of both controversies are essentially the same.

Yet this old man wears these clothes with a certain unaccustomed air of being dressed and elaborated for the public ways; as though he passed the greater part of his time in a night-cap and gown.

Sprocket & Say dataset
This is a pre-year-1900 dataset.
It is a mishmash of original vintage datasets, including: croqaz/vintage-v1, croqaz/vintage-v2, haykgrigorian/english-historical-corpus-1800-1875 and jbduran/think-dataset-clean. Only the highest quality texts are kept. Also, all entries that contain any of the ~800 banned words from the banned.txt file are dropped.
The texts are de-duplicated by lowercase + ignoring all white-spaces, but if one non-white-space character is different, they are considered different entries. There is a chance that there are duplicates.
This is not synthetic data to the best of my knowledge, all entries can be traced back to their original source on HuggingFace.
