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.

But, as it has been found, that some among us have been pleased to censure our author, who either have not perused his genuine writings, or not with sufficient attention*, it may in justice be expected, that we endeavour to point out the peculiar excellencies of his several works, and so distinguish the supposititious -j- which disgrace his name, that they may no longer be obtruded for genuine. From * The stile of his Institutes and Aphorisms is so laconic, that nearly a like attention is necessary for the thorough understanding of those books, as is usually given to treatises of mixt mathematics, and a panegyric, instead of a vindication, will be deemed most meet after due consideration. f Of which he highly complains in the preface sto his Chemistry.
