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,

Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below

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

When this book first appeared in 1793, there had been no
significant work on comets published in English since Edmond
Halley's death some fifty years before. In Europe the field was
dominated by French astronomers such as Pingre and Laplace, but
their ornate styles were often difficult to translate. In this
concise monograph, Sir Henry Englefield (c.1752 1822) draws both on
this continental work and on his own correspondence with William
Herschel to produce one of the few accessible manuals in English
for the computation of cometary orbits. He includes mathematical
examples as new formulae are introduced, along with detailed tables
and appendices. Englefield's particular interest was in the
development of scientific instruments suitable for travellers - he
devised a portable telescope and lent his name to the Englefield
mountain barometer - and his passion for efficiency shines through
in this work, still valuable to researchers in the history of
astronomy and comet science.
