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.

A different setting from T020437.London: printed for William Nicoll, 1780. xvi,120,48p.; 8 Contributor Bio:  Stevenson, John John is not an author, or a novelist, or even a writer: John is a storyteller. Since the dawn of humankind people have sat together and told tales; tales of what they knew and what they feared, tales of mystery and suspense, of spirits and of what evil lurked in the shadows beyond the campfire. These were tales that became fantasy and myth, a tradition that john carries on to this day. But John wasn't always a storyteller, for most of his life he was a traveller of the world: a husband and father, and bringer in of the weekly wage. As John reached middle age and his children began to have their own families he at last had time and opportunity to create the characters that inhabit the strange worlds inside his mind.
