Description

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. This data is provided as an additional tool in helping to insure edition identification: ++++ Library of Congress W030577 Translation of Paul Henri Thiry baron d'Holbach's Le bon-sens; ou Idées naturelles opposées aux idées surnaturelles. Incorrectly attributed to Constantin Volney by Evans. Apparently a false imprint. On the title page of another issue (Evans 29821), the place of publication is given as Philadelphia. Probably both are deceptive. Page [204] contains a copyright notice by "Isaiah Thomas the third" of the "District of Massachusetts." This also is a fabrication. The printers Isaiah Thomas (1749-1831) and his son Isaiah (1773-1819), both of Worcester, Mass., had no progeny of the same name. The ornamental headband on p. [11] is not found in works printed by Thomas ca. 1790-1799, though he did use others reminiscent of it in design and execution. It is, however, a slightly differing copy of one frequently employed during this period by Leonard Worcester, who printed at Thomas' press both for Thomas and under his own name. "All located copies have the derogatory statement about priests cut out of p. 137."--Shipton & Mooney. "Errata."--p. [204]. [New York]: Printed at New-York. [s.n.], 1795. 203, [1]p.; 16°
