The Copenhagen cholera epidemic 1853 in contemporary Danish newspaper prose: Some back-of-an-envelope calculations

Inspired by the fact that we were all hiding away from the
Covid-19 2020 – 2021, I wanted to take a closer look at some other

trigrams and frequency distributions. I started to write this May
2020 and completed it about two years later.
