Some Internet Facsimiles on Internet Archive

I went down the list of novels and searched for each, typically by putting what I thought to be the most significant part of the titles in quotation marks. If a work doesn't appear on this list, that's because it wasn't there when I searched for it. If a work's link appears as a search query (these will be pretty obvious in comparison to the actual specific works), that's because many editions/novels popped up on the search (more than four). Typically this was because they are more famous works than the rest.

For some of these in particular, I haven't included the full title. To limit this searching a little, I only used Internet Archive- I can do Google Books and ECCO later. Also, the dates I used are a little bit deceptive. I sorted the 1740 - 1749 collection into individual years to make the project less daunting, but when I searched on Internet Archive, there's not always a specific date attached to the result found. The dates reflect the initial sorting, not necessarily the edition found. Where titles appear more than one in the 1740-1749 collection, only one search in the Internet Archive has been made.

If you can edit this and update it with Google Books information or more indepth information, I think that'd be good - this entry, at any rate, is more of a start than a finished process.
