Naval and Military Operations of Great Britain is the single most
important contemporary account of the Royal Navy in the 18th
century. Its six volumes present a new approach to naval strategy.
Defeat in the American Revolutionary War called into question the
assumptions of superiority upon which so much earlier commentary on
naval affairs had been based. By addressing the specific causes of
the disaster, the author, Robert Beatson (1742-1818), hoped to
render both the navy and the nation wiser for the future. Lauded by
key figures in the development of naval strategy, including John
Laughton, Alfred T. Mahan, and Julian Corbett, this work remains
fundamental to modern scholarship on the nature of British naval
power and is an especially rich source of information on the
British army's campaign in North America. This edition contains a
substantial new introduction by leading naval scholar, Andrew
Lambert (King's College London).
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
