More about the book

The 18th century was marked by significant advancements in knowledge, exploration, and technology, driven by innovations in the printing press. To preserve this revolutionary era, Gale embarked on an extensive digitization project, creating the largest archive of its kind. For the first time, high-quality digital copies of original 18th-century manuscripts are now available in print, making them accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. This collection features a rich array of titles focused on English life and social history, reflecting the world as understood by 18th-century historians and explorers. It includes numerous travel accounts, diaries, and histories of various nations, along with maps and charts of a still-unfolding world. Students studying the War of American Independence will discover compelling narratives from the British perspective of the conflict. Additionally, the bibliographic record offers insights into the identification of the title, including information about the author, R. Burton (Nathaniel Crouch), and details such as the initial advertisement leaf with a woodcut frontispiece and a final booksellers catalog. The work titled "The secret history of the Lady Jane Gray" features a separate title page and was printed in London in 1733-1734.
