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 first copy I received was damaged. Amazon was good enough to replace it. The second copy was 2/3s filled with "Drawing Anime for Beginners", by Jane Mackle. Interesting but not quite I expected. It was followed by the Halley manuscript, however. This has been interesting....

Cool book. It's way outdated, lol, duh. Edmond Halley wrote it, It was cool to see everything that they once knew about comets.
