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 1880 work by Dr. M. La Fayette Byrn is the eighth edition of a hugely popular manual on the distillation of spirits from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Providing directions for the distillation and preparation of brandies and other spirits, this edition had appended to it M. Flinz's "Practical Directions for Distilling," a text that had appeared separately in Paris and which the author felt would provide vital information to the reader.
