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

OUT OF BOUNDS is a first-person, true story of conscience and
courage that you ll never forget. In 1941, before Pearl Harbor,
life was uncertain. Would America remain at peace as Europe went to
war? What would the new peacetime draft mean to American men
between the ages of 21 and 35, now required to register with the
Selective Service and prepare themselves for military service?
Chuck Worley was in college then and, like several thousand other
Americans, in the process of making up his mind to become a
conscientious objector (CO). A new national system of Civilian
Public Service (CPS) work camps awaited men like Worley. After
being drafted and granted CO status, he tried to fit into the CPS
system and its work of national importance. But he felt the goals
of the program fell short, and he walked out. Soon he found himself
in the custody of U.S. Marshals, eventually winding up in Sandstone
Federal Prison in Minnesota. OUT OF BOUNDS collects Worley s WW II
journal-like letters and poems from his time in prison. His writing
provides a moving, thoughtful, heartfelt, and provocative look at
the 1940s prison system in America, and what it meant to be a war
resister during WW II. Prison was a lonely world for a newly
married young man. Worley and his CO friends organized themselves
for protests and strikes, faced solitary confinement and abuse, and
fought for desegregation of the prison, all the while working to
gain their freedom. Their strategies included non-cooperation,
writing manifestos, and conducting hunger strikes (which led to
being force-fed by the guards). Worley s letters convey the
loneliness, isolation, and struggle of fighting against the system.
They also convey his love to his young bride, and we get a close-up
look at how they struggled to build a life together when separated
by war. OUT OF BOUNDS is a brave personal statement about one
conscientious objector s response to the Good War, and it is a
lasting testament to the power of one man's refusal to abandon his
beliefs against the backdrop of a world at war.
