The first reliable maps of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts were
drawn by the French explorer Amedee-Francois Frezier (1682-1773).
In 1712, he was sent on a spying mission to the Spanish ports and
fortifications of South America, travelling along the Pacific
coastline as far as Callao, the port of Lima. His maps were later
used by two of France's most famous explorers, Bougainville and
Laperouse. Frezier also took a keen interest in botany, mineralogy,
economics and anthropology. His most celebrated achievement is the
introduction to Europe of the Chilean strawberry, which was used to
create the hybrid species known today as the garden strawberry.
Frezier's observations and illustrations of the people, plants and
animals he encountered on his South American travels are given in
this popular account, published in Paris in 1716 and reissued here
in the English translation of 1717.

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
