Anita Lasker Wallfisch and Raphael Wallfisch, and Britten's agent

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.Delve into what it

farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original

"I must have presented a strange and humorous sight to him as I
carefully approached on the rickety pier, arms slightly extended
for balance. Cameras and tape recorders and bags hung from straps
around my neck and shoulders, and my right hand tightly gripped a
shiny new lunch box. I leaned over his boat and made the request
that I would repeat dozens of times over the next three years. 'Hi,
I'm doing a book about the watermen of the bay, and would greatly
appreciate it if you'd allow me to go along with you and take some
photographs.' The older watermen looked at me and then at the
floorboards of his boat. His leathery face eased into a smile.
'Son,' he said, looking up, 'You are welcome to go with me as a
cool breeze in August'" "I've learned that time spent with a
watermen is an experience never to be forgotten. Some days he'll
keep you in stitches with his tall tales and keen wit. Other days
you may learn something from him about equipment depreciation or
the migratory habits of the blue crab. One thing's for sure-you'll
never be bored. Like anyone else, there are good and bad among the
watermen, but from what I've experienced, they represent one of
God's best efforts. It's that good 99% that this book is about."
