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, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Excerpt from Letters of John Wesley: A Selection of Important and New Letters With Introductions and Biographical Notes With these helps, Wesley's letters to his most intimate lay friend Ebenezer Blackwell and also those to Wesley's most distinguished follower in Scotland, Lady Maxwell, are given more completely than ever before. The letters to his chief preachers and to eccentric Thomas Wride and others, many of them new letters, are typical of a host of such which he dispatched to his helpers as they changed the face of Eng land. Few readers will omit his letters, some of them little known, to young people and to public men. The chapter of letters to American and Canadian Methodists gives together for the first time, and with important additions, Wesley's messages to those lands in which his followers were to become so numerous.
