Scorecard

Each comparison starts from a snewpapers component. "=" means both systems drew the same article. Where they differ, a language model, shown only the text, was asked which is right, twice, with the two claims stated in each order.

How this was scored

Every comparison is anchored on a snewpapers component and the American Stories boxes inside it. Where those boxes belong to several AS articles (or several of our components lie inside one AS article), the model was shown the passage as the numbered pieces and asked whether it is one component, several or mixed, twice, with the two beliefs stated, unattributed, in each order. A verdict that changed with the order is unstable and counts for neither side. AS text inside none of our components was asked whether it is advertisements, terms or page furniture, which snewpapers leaves out on purpose. Where AS attaches text outside one of our components (text of an AS article our component otherwise has), the model was shown our component's text and the attached text and asked whether the text belongs to the component, twice, the two beliefs stated in each order: "separate" means snewpapers is right, "belongs" American Stories. Where two AS articles inside one of our components hold the same text (the shorter sharing at least 50% of its 4-word phrases with the longer), the longer is kept and the text counted as duplicated by American Stories; so is attached text another AS article also holds. Where American Stories has a line or two of our component (at most 12 words and 5% of its area) in another AS article while one article holds the rest, the line is no split: the model was shown the rest of the AS text and the line and asked whether the line belongs to the component, both ways; "belongs" means snewpapers is right and judges only the article holding the line wrong (lines in another AS article). One AS article counts as a match only when the two cover each other, both ways: AS text covers at least 90% of our component, and our component at least 90% of that AS article's text. Coverage is measured line by line down each column (how much of its height the other side's boxes span, so a centred headline narrower than its column still counts). Under 90% the first way, the component is partly captured by AS (the rest in no AS box, or marked illegible): not asked, an AS error by the geometry, its AS article judged wrong (AS articles missing part of ours). Under 90% the second way, the AS article runs on beyond our component into other text: that text is asked about as text attached outside, and "separate" judges the AS article wrong (AS articles running on into other items). Decisions are the unit counted above; the last table counts what they judged: an as_split decided "one" is one decision and every AS article inside our component judged wrong, an N ours : 1 AS decided "several" one decision and each of our N components judged right (an article or component judged both ways by different decisions counts in both rows). AS errors count what the decisions for snewpapers found American Stories got wrong, next to those decisions: an N ours : 1 AS is N errors, the N items of ours AS failed to separate (items AS merged), a 1 ours : N AS N errors, the N AS fragment articles. A component inside an N ours : 1 AS (its AS text a slice of the merged article) is counted in the components table by that decision's outcome. A component running over pages is one comparison across them (American Stories never links an article across pages): its AS articles on all its pages, labelled by page, are the pieces asked about, once; it counts once among our components, and a decision for snewpapers judges every one of those AS articles wrong, each a fragment article.

How to read this

Each group is the same crop of the scan twice: snewpapers' boxes on the left, American Stories' on the right. The group's own boxes are outlined in red. Groups are in page position order (column by column), not reading order. A component can appear twice: in its own case and in an N ours : 1 AS group. Text of a component's own AS articles printed outside the component is left out of the comparison and shown beneath the group as "American Stories also attaches: «…» (outside this component)".

1:1 match	the AS text inside our component (boxes, or the slices of boxes it overlaps) all belongs to one AS article (or to several that duplicate one another: American Stories duplicated the text)
1 ours : N AS	the AS text inside our component belongs to several AS articles: one component or several?
N ours : 1 AS	two or more of our components lie inside one AS article (80% or more of each, or 50% or more with a slice of the article): one component or several?
in N ours : 1 AS	all the AS text inside our component is a slice of an AS article that holds other components of ours too: no agreement (the slice is cut along our boundaries, not AS's); decided by that N ours : 1 AS
continued	a later page of a component of ours running over pages: compared, asked and decided once, across its pages, in the group on its first page
ours only	no AS box overlaps our component enough to give it a slice: not captured by American Stories
AS only	AS text inside none of our components (one AS article's): left out on purpose, or missed?
AS only, tiny	AS text inside none of our components, under 20 characters: not asked

1:1, AS partial	the AS text inside our component all belongs to one AS article, but AS has text for under 90% of our component, measured line by line (the rest is in no AS box, or AS marked it illegible): partly captured by American Stories, not asked; its AS article counts as an AS error
1:1, AS article wider	one AS article holds our component, but runs on beyond it into other text (our component covers under 90% of the article's text, measured line by line): the text it runs into is asked about, and decides it

snewpapers

From the GENTLEMAN's MAGAZINE, for Aug. 1770.

Mr. Urban,

I SEND you a Letter which was written by the celebrated Sir Walter Raleigh, to that excellent young Prince, Henry, the eldest son of James the first. It was published some years ago, in a collection that has got into but few hands; and without saying that it has any relation to the Court Principles of the present time, I may recommend it to your numerous readers, not only as a literary curiosity, but as containing sentiments which will always be dear to a good man, a good subject, and a good King. I am, &c. T.B.

To PRINCE HENRY.

May it please your Highness,

THE following lines are addressed to your Highness, from a man who values his Liberty, and a very small fortune in a remote part of this Island, under the present constitution, above all the riches and honours that he could any where enjoy under any other establishment.

You see, Sir, the doctrines that are lately come into the world, and how far the phrase has obtained, of calling your Royal father, God's Vicegerent; which ill men have turned both to the dishonour of God, and the impeachment of his Majesty's goodness. They adjoin vicegerency to the idea of being all-powerful; and not to that of being all-good. His Majesty's wisdom, it is to be hoped, will save him from the snare that may lie under gross adulations; but your youth, and the thirst of praise, which I have observed in you, may possibly mislead you to hearken to those charmers, who would conduct your noble nature into tyranny. Be careful, O my Prince! Hear them not, fly from their deceits; you are in the succession to a throne, from whence no evil can be imputed to you, but all good must be conveyed from you.

Your father is called the Vicegerent of heaven; while he is good, he is the Vicegerent of heaven. Shall man have authority from the fountain of good to do evil? No, my Prince: Let mean and degenerate spirits, which want benevolence, suppose your power impaired by a disability of doing injuries. If want of power to do ill, be an incapacity, in a Prince, with reverence be it spoken, it is an incapacity he hath in common with the Deity. Let me not doubt but all pleas, which do not carry in them the mutual happiness of Prince and people, will appear as absurd to your great understanding, as disagreeable to your noble nature.

Exert yourself, O generous Prince, against such sycophants in the glorious cause of liberty; and assume such an ambition worthy of you, to secure your fellow-creatures from slavery; from a condition as much below that of brutes, as to act without reason is less miserable than to act against it. Preserve to your future subjects the divine right of being free agents; and to your own royal house the divine right of being their benefactors. Believe me, my Prince, there is no other right can flow from God. While your highness is forming yourself for a throne, consider the laws as so many common places in your study of the science of government; when you mean nothing but justice, they are an ease and help to you. This way of thinking is what gave men the glorious appellation of Deliverers and Fathers of their country; this made the sight of them rouse their beholders into acclamations, and mankind incapable of bearing their very appearance, without applauding it as a benefit. Consider the inexpressible advantages which will ever attend your Highness, while you make the power of rendering men happy the measure of your actions. While this is your impulse, how easily will that power be extended.

The glance of your eye will give gladness, and your very sentence have a force of beauty. Whatever some men would insinuate, you have lost your subjects when you have lost their inclinations. You are to preside over the minds, not the bodies of men; the soul is the essence of the man, and you cannot have the true man against his inclinations. Choose therefore to be the King or the Conqueror of your people; it may be submission, but it cannot be obedience that is passive.

I am, Sir, your Highness's most faithful servant, WALTER RALEIGH. London, August 12, 1611.

From a late London News-Paper.

To the PRINTER.

It seems to be a prevailing opinion in Great-Britain, that the Parliament have a right to tax the Americans, and that, unless they have such a right, America would be independent of Great-Britain.

And it seems to be a prevailing opinion in America, that by taxing them without their consent, and where they are not, and cannot be represented, you deprive them of the Rights of Englishmen, nay, in time, with the loss of the constitution, you will deprive them of Liberty and Property altogether.

This is a very interesting subject, the consequences in each case very important, though neither so alarming nor so dangerous to Britain as to America.

With regard to Great-Britain, if it should not prove so as is claimed, the consequence can easily be this, that then no tax can be laid, or revenue raised, on the Americans, inconsistent with their natural rights as men, and

with their civil and constitutional liberties as Britons; but the dependency of the Americans upon Great-Britain will be as full and firm as ever. But, with regard to America, the mischief is beyond all expression, if the contrary should take place. If they are not to raise their own taxes, all their assemblies become useless in a moment, all their respective legislatures are annihilated at a stroke; an act passed by persons, most of them probably never saw, nor cared much for America, may destroy all the acts they ever passed, may lay every burthen upon them under which they are not expected immediately to sink; and all the civil and religious liberties, for which their forefathers went into this wilderness, and under the smiles of heaven, turned it into a garden, of immense consequence to the mother country, will, or may be at an end at once. Probably the present Parliament, or generation, will never carry matters to this length, but who knows what may be done in the next? The first settlers of the American Wilds never expected that would come to pass which we have seen already. They never expected it would be drawn into question, whether they themselves should give and grant their own money where they are legally represented; or whether the Parliament of Great-Britain should give and grant their money where they are not represented. Surely this proposition can never be admitted to be just, without admitting at the same time, that the Americans are upon a level with the meanest slaves. A situation, into which I should think Englishmen would disdain to reduce their fellow-subjects.

that the Parliament have right to tax the AmeIi- cans, and that, unleE they have fuch right, America would be Independent of Great Britain.

This is very lntercang fubjee, the consequences in each caf: very important, though neither 10 alarming nor 70 dungeons to Britain as TO America.

Buxton, October 1. Depend upon it: A Small-Wareman lately opened his box here before the Marquis of Granby, who picked out some toys for his sons, and likewise a toothpick, which the pedlar charged a guinea. "Are toothpicks scarce at Buxton?" says the Marquis. "No, my noble Lord," says the pedlar, "but Marquises are." The Peer threw down his guinea, and smiling said, "Ah, Mr. Samuel, you are a Jew indeed."

London, October 6. We are informed that a certain Danish Nobleman, lately divested of his employments, is now in London incog. The cause of his disgrace, is said to be the discovery of four intrigues he lately carried on with married ladies.

Died. At his house at Whitehall, the Right Hon. Thomas Robinson, Lord Grantham, K.B. and F.R.S.---At Chelsea, Sir Richard Lyttelton, K.B. Governor of Jersey, &c.---In the 12th year of his age, the most noble George, Marquis of Tweedale, Earl of Gifford.

On the death of Sir Richard Lyttelton, the King immediately ordered a letter to be wrote to Sir Jeffery Amherst, offering him the government of Jersey---As in this he has rewarded a brave and generous man, and did not consult his Ministry, we may hope better days in other appointments. Sir J. Amherst immediately answered the letter with thanks, and acceptance of the office.

October 9. Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, Mr. Potter, one of his Majesty's messengers, who was sent with dispatches from hence to the court of Madrid, arrived at Lord Weymouth's office in Cleveland-Row from that place; his Lordship came to town in the afternoon, and on receiving the dispatches, brought by Mr. Potter from Spain, his Lordship immediately set out to Richmond, to wait on his Majesty.

On Friday and Saturday nights there was a very hot press on the River, every ship that came in was cleared of her hands, except the Captain, mate, and apprentices.

October 11. Tuesday night summonses were issued for the Parliament to meet as soon as possible; and it is thought they will be assembled this week: it is not certain whether this unexpectedly early meeting is occasioned by the evasive answer from Spain; or by the plague having broke out in France. Expresses were immediately sent to the members of both Houses of Parliament in all parts of Great-Britain.

We do not hear that any messenger has been sent off for Madrid since the arrival of Mr. Potter. The truth is, more intelligence concerning the Spanish dispute is expected Saturday or Sunday next. If nothing satisfactory is received, final and conclusive dispatches will be sent off (perhaps by a messenger of greater importance and character than the last) to Madrid, who will be instructed to demand a categorical answer within a few hours.---Thus much has transpired from a very respectable quarter.

The Spanish ambassador has absolutely refused to answer any questions concerning the present disputes that may be put to him by the ministry, till he receives instructions from his court, which are expected every hour.

Yesterday Lord Mansfield, with the heads of the Ministry, had a private conference with his Majesty.

We hear the Earl of Chatham and Lord Camden are both summoned to attend the grand Council on the Spanish dispute.

We are assured that there is yet another messenger at Madrid, waiting for the answer of the Spanish court to our last dispatches.

It is certain, that the Spaniards have a fleet of between forty and fifty ships of the line at Ferrol.

In case of a war with Spain, we shall have all the privateers of France poured upon us, with Spanish commissions; which will be a great annoyance to our trade; while we can take nothing from the Spaniards, for they have nothing to take, now their galleons are come home.

Two regiments of foot are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark, on the shortest notice.

snewpapers

By Captain White, arrived at Philadelphia in eighteen days from St. Croix, we have the pleasure of informing our readers, that the account in this paper, of part of that island being destroyed by an earthquake, is without foundation.

Captain Watt, who arrived here last Thursday from Bristol, about three weeks ago, spoke with Captain Cole in a schooner from this port, bound for Liverpool; they were all well on board.

We hear that the press for seamen was so hot in England, on the beginning of October last, that 2000 men were pressed in one night in London.

Commodore Gambier has promised his Majesty's most gracious pardon, to all seamen and marines who have deserted his Majesty's ships on this station, if they return to duty before the first of February next.

Seamen are wanted for his Majesty's ship Tweed, bound for England, those who apply will meet with encouragement.

Last Friday, in the afternoon, Montgomery and Kill-Tay, the two soldiers lately convicted of Manslaughter, were branded for the same in court and dismissed.

On Saturday a sailor belonging to one of his Majesty's ships in this harbour, was whipped from ship to ship for desertion.

By a letter from a Gentleman in London, we learn, that his Majesty has proposed to send a Clergyman of dignity to North-America the next spring in order to look into the state of the Episcopal Churches on this continent, and make report. This may probably be a step preparatory to the establishing a Bishop on this Continent.

Monday last sailed from Piscataqua for the West-Indies, the ship Hampshire, Captain Curlett, with whom went passengers the Hon. Judge Madders, Chief Justice of Barbados, (who came there last summer for the recovery of his health) with his Lady and Daughter.

Not long ago, a child was baptized in Maryland, by the name of George Whitefield. Among all the children lately called after that late great and highly esteemed man, it is hoped one, at least, will be properly educated, so as to be the better enabled to imitate the universally lamented original, for otherwise, as a Lady of distinction not long since observed, it will be but little credit to him whom England and America now mourns the loss of, to see in some future day a George Whitefield, of a low and dirty business.

To the PUBLIC.

The Printer of the Massachusetts Spy, begs leave to return his sincere thanks to his present subscribers, for their kind reception of that paper, and the general approbation they have been pleased to signify of his endeavours to serve them.

As the institution of the Spy, was with a view of serving his country, as well as to acquire a moderate livelihood for himself, he hopes the Public will encourage a Young Beginner, whose utmost efforts shall be used to prove himself as great a Friend to True Liberty as any of his profession in the four quarters of the Globe ; and therefore begs their attention to what he has now to offer.

The Free Use of the PRESS, has ever been acknowledged one of the greatest Blessings of Mankind, especially when its PRODUCTIONS tend to defend the GLORIOUS CAUSE of LIBERTY ; and to point out to the world, those base and wicked arts of designing men, who fain would set nations together by the ears, and involve whole kingdoms in slavery!

Part of the design in this paper, is, to assist in detecting, and exposing to public view, those miscreants who, for the sake of private or public advantage to themselves, would sacrifice both their King and Country. And to help, as much as possible, in maintaining and supporting that LIBERTY for which our Fathers suffered in transferring it to us. To effect which, a great regard will always be paid to such political pieces as tend to secure our invaluable rights and priviledges.

The other part of the publisher's design is, to give as copious a view as possibly can be obtained, of all Foreign Affairs, and the freshest Intelligence from Great-Britain, as it may from time to time arrive ; and that which concerns the colonies, shall be particularly noticed in this paper. He will likewise be careful of properly collecting American Intelligence, and of inserting that, together with the particular transactions of this province. Also, to register every remarkable Occurrence, extraordinary Phaenomenon, striking Anecdote, curious Invention, or new Discovery in Nature or Science, that may hereafter happen in Europe or America. And, if Variety of Matter, and Impartiality of Conduct, can give the Preference to a public Paper of Intelligence, he flatters himself, this will be such, as may entitle his labour to a favourable reception.

The publisher now takes the liberty of intreating the assistance of the Learned, the Witty, the Curious, and the Candid, of both Sexes, with whom he should be glad to cultivate a correspondence.
