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.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched
religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day
thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume,
