In 1772 Manchester was a fast growing town thanks to the rise in
industrialisation. Elizabeth Raffald ran a shop, a cookery school,
a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook
and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript
on midwifery and so much more. She was innovative so it was only
logical that she would be the first with the innovation of a
directory of traders and notable people, and only 3 years after
producing her cookbook she had compiled a 60 page guide to the
locations and trades of many residents, a year later increasing it
to 78 pages as the town grew and addresses were improved. She
produced a third directory in 1781 after placing advertisements in
the Manchester Mercury for people wishing to be included. After she
died in 1781 it took another 7 years before anyone else attempted
another directory. Elizabeth Raffald was truly a pioneer of her
time. For more about Elizabeth see 'The Experienced English
Housekeeper of Manchester' by Suze Appleton.
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.The
eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity
followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and
Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style
dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments
in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional
works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic
operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled
