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 from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Excerpt from An Essay on the Usefulness of Mathematical Learning: In a Letter From a Gentleman in the City, to His Friend at Oxford But, notwithfianding their Excellency and Re putation, they have not been taught nor fiudy'd lo univerfally, as fome of the reft; whichi take to have proceed from the following Caufes The Aver/ion of the greatqfl Part of Mankind to ferions Attention, and clay} arguing, Their not comprehending fuficientty the Neccfit), or great efficine/f, cf the]? In other Parts of Learning An Opinion that this Study requires a particular Genius and Turn of Head, which flow are fit happy as to he horn uithz, And the ivant of public Encouragement, and able Aiajiers. For thefe, and perhaps fome other Reafons, this Study hath been generally neglected, and regarded only by fome few Perfons, whofe happy Genius and Cu riofity have prompted them to it, or who have been forced upon it by its immediate Subferviency to fome particular Art or Office. Therefore I think I cannot do better Service to Learning, Youth, and the Nation in general, than by Ihewing, That the Mathematics, of all Parts of human Knowt'cge, for the Improvement of the Mind, for their suh/ereicncy to other Arts, and their lz/cful nefi to the Commonwealth, dcfirve mofi to he encou raged. I know a Difcourfe of this Nature will be offenfive to fome, who, while they are ignorant of Mathematics, yet think themfelves Matters of all valuable Learning: But their Difpleafure mufi not deter me from delivering an ufeful Truth.
