The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled

The Principles, published when the author was only twenty-six, is
the most systematic of all of Berkeley's expositions of his theory
of knowledge: it was the direct outgrowth of the Essay Towards a
New Theory of Vision (1709), which sought to banish the
metaphysical abstractions of Absolute Space and Extension from
philosophy, and was itself mainly concerned with the abolition of
Abstract Matter and of the ontological and theological corollaries
of that concept. The Dialogues treat of substantially the same
subjects but are more familiar and elegant in form and are devoted
in the main to the refutation of the most plausible popular and
philosophical objections to the new doctrine. The two books mark a
distinctively new epoch in philosophy and science, and together
afford a comprehensive survey of Berkeley's doctrines, placing
within the reach of every reader in remarkably brief compass
opinions which have profoundly influenced the course of
intellectual history. Works of this kind have been almost
invariably distinguished by their brevity, ""I had no inclinations
is Berkeley's characteristic remark, ""to trouble the world with
large volumes
