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

John Charnock (1756 1807) was a professional naval biographer and
historian. After completing his studies at Trinity College, Oxford,
he joined the Navy as a volunteer and began to research historical
and contemporary naval affairs. This six-volume work, first
published between 1794 and 1798, contains biographies of over two
thousand post-captains and admirals who served in the Navy between
1660 and 1793. Charnock researched this monumental project using
collections of historical naval biographies made available by his
friend Captain William Locker, lieutenant-governor of Greenwich
Hospital. He also drew on his own experiences and his contacts
among serving officers to provide valuable insights into
contemporary events. However, his sometimes uncritical approach to
sources means his work is best consulted together with other
evidence. The biographies are arranged by year of first
appointment, and alphabetically within each year. Volume 2 contains
biographies of officers appointed between 1674 and 1692.
