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.
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.

This narrative is an invaluable first hand account of the critical correspondence between Clinton and Cornwallis concerning the vents that led up to and proceeded Cornwallis' surrender of British forces at Yorktown. The narrative also includes correspondence between Clinton and Gervais which is crucial to understanding Clinton's frustration with the decisions of Cornwallis as well as Gervais overly optimistic view of the North American theatre.
