That's a big project, ProDigit. But why?
Eighteenth-century English had its own spelling conventions; I don't see them as errors. And I find that it is quite manageable, especially after reading a few pages, because a person gets into the flow of the language.
Moreover, it is not just the spelling that is different. Recently, I heard a paper in which the lecturer described a shifting use of printing conventions such as capitalisation and italicisation between the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century.

But good luck to you, if you have a need for the tool.
