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

undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it
was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the

farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original
texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly
contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various

George Cartwright (1739 1819) was a soldier, trader and explorer
who spent sixteen years travelling and working in Labrador in
northern Canada. In 1754, he entered the Royal Military Academy at
Woolwich in London before taking up a commission in the Indian
army. In 1760, he served in the Seven Years' War, returning to
England with the rank of Captain. After his army career, he turned
to exploration and set himself up as a trader along the Labrador
coast of Canada, making six expeditions from 1770 86 between Cape
St Charles and Hamilton Inlet. Published in 1792, this is the first
book in a three-volume work that recounts the author's adventures
along the Labrador coast, vividly portraying the land and the
culture of the indigenous peoples. It covers Cartwright's first two
expeditions (1770 3), and opens with a short autobiography. Each
volume also includes a glossary of unusual terms.
