'This should be bought not borrowed.' Saturday Review
The publication in 1648 of the first authentic account of the
provinces of New Spain and Central America by a well-known and
educated Englishman excited widespread interest, and The
English-American found many readers even though the country was in
the midst of revolution. It played an important part in reviving
the anti-Spanish policy of Elizabeth and describes at first hand a
stage of American society that was virtually unknown.
A. P. Newton's introduction places the book against the background
of its time, which is vital in order to understand many of Thomas
Gage's allusions. Although abridged from the original, the full
chapter headings of the First Edition and the original numbering
have been preserved.
Published in 1928, this exploration of the accounts of missionary
Thomas Gage, edited by A.P.Newton, accounts the arduous journey
around the Americas that Thomas Gage took to spread Christian
teaching.

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
