A greater fluidity in social relations and hierarchies was
experienced across Europe in the early modern period, a consequence
of the major political and religious upheavals of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. At the same time, the universities of Europe
became increasingly orientated towards serving the territorial
state, guided by a humanistic approach to learning which stressed
its social and political utility. It was in these contexts that the
notion of the scholar as a distinct social category gained a
foothold and the status of the scholarly group as a social elite
was firmly established. University scholars demonstrated a great
energy when characterizing themselves socially as learned men. This
book investigates the significance and implications of academic
self-fashioning throughout Europe in the early modern period. It
describes a general and growing deliberation in the fashioning of
individual, communal and categorical academic identity in this
period. It explores the reasons for this growing self-consciousness
among scholars, and the effects of its expression - social and
political, desired and real.

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

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
