Publisher Marketing: 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.

Raised by emotionally distant, evangelical Christian parents, he spent his teenage and young adult years in a flurry of violence-witnessing murders, suicides, and rapes. He married his first wife at seventeen and had four children by the age of twenty-one. Eventually, Wilson became a successful tradesman and business owner who has always lived a fast-paced life. He has been writing ever since taking his first writer's course in his midtwenties and also enjoys boating and fishing. He currently lives in Florida with his wife, Mary, and is working on two fictional novels.
