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.

Dublin: printed by James Hoey, junior, 1760. 50p.; 12 Contributor Bio:  Hill, John Author John Hill was born in 1945 in Hawthorne, Nevada, but his earliest childhood memories are of working as a migrant laborer, along with his parents and nine brothers and sisters, in California's gloriously productive Central Valley, and agricultural towns all the way north through Oregon and Washington. Through his unshakable faith in God, he was able to break free of the back-breaking and demeaning migrant labor, get an education, marry well, work some of the top-flight jobs in the employee-relations field, and raise a family. Now retired, he lives with his wife, Mattie, in La Quinta, California.
