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.Rich in titles on
English life and social history, this collection spans the world as
it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles
include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of
nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world
that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American
Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side
of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various
