by Archibald Pitcairne

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 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.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

About the author

Archibald Pitcairne or Pitcairn was a Scottish physician.

Pitcairne was a classical scholar, and wrote Latin verses. He was the joint author of a comedy, The Assembly, or Scotch Reformation, originally entitled The Phanaticks (1691), and of a satirical poem Babel, containing sketches of prominent Presbyterian divines of the time, whom, as a loudly avowed Jacobite, he strongly disliked.
