Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"In A Voyage to the Moon, the narrator (called, like the author,
Cyrano de Bergerac), after a failed first attempt to reach the moon
using vials of dewdrops, finally makes it into space and to his
desired destination using the more scientific means of a
rocket-powered craft. After landing, he discovers four-legged
creatures whose nourishment is smoke and whose currency is poetry
and encounters the ghost of Socrates. Published posthumously and
intended mainly as a satire of its age, this imaginative and
entertaining tale - here presented in a lively translation by
Andrew Brown - is now considered one of the pioneering works of
science fiction."

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.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
