Product 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.
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.

Excerpt:Bruce Robinson Bruce Robinson (born 2 May 1946(1946-05-02)) is an English director , screenwriter , novelist and actor. He is arguably most famous for his work on the cult classic Withnail and I , a film with comic and tragic elements, set in London during the 1960s. As an actor, he has worked with the likes of Franco Zeffirelli (on whom he based the character of Uncle Monty in Withnail and I ), Ken Russell and François Truffaut . In 1998, he returned to acting with a cameo in the 70s rock rival film Still Crazy . Robinson currently lives in Herefordshire with his wife, Sophie Windham, and their two children, Lily (b. 1986) and Willoughby (b. 1994). Career Bruce Robinson was born in Broadstairs in Kent . In his youth, Robinson dreamed of being an actor and was admitted to the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. His first film role was as Benvolio in Franco Zeffirelli 's film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet (1968). He eventually became disenchanted with acting after spending several years out of work and living on social security payments and began writing screenplays. He was soon commissioned by David Puttnam to write the screenplay for The Killing Fields (1984). Robinson was nominated for an Academy Award and won a BAFTA for his work. However, he is perhaps best known as the creative force behind the film Withnail and I (1987). Loosely autobiographical, he based the film on his time as a struggling out-of-work actor . For instance, the character 'Withnail' is reportedly based on his friend, Vivian MacKerrell , whilst the character 'I' (Marwood), on himself. Though u... ... Read more

An Excerpt from the book-

"Yes, sir," said my host the quarryman, reaching down the relics from
their hook in the wall over the chimney-piece; "they've hung there
all my time, and most of my father's.The women won't touch 'em;
they're afraid of the story.So here they'll dangle, and gather dust
and smoke, till another tenant comes and tosses 'em out o' doors for
rubbish.Whew! 'tis coarse weather."

He went to the door, opened it, and stood studying the gale that

Il s'est rendu célèbre pour ses nombreux vols de livres rares. Aristocrate florentin, Libri fréquente la faculté de droit de Pise à partir de 1816, mais se tourne rapidement vers les mathématiques.

Professeur de physique mathématique dans son université dès 1823, il délaisse l'enseignement et part l'année suivante en année sabbatique pour Paris, où il fréquente quelques-unes des sommités mathématiques du moment. De retour en Italie, il est compromis avec les Carbonari de Toscane, et doit s'enfuir en France, où il est naturalisé français en 1833.

Excerpt: Robert Poore Haythorne (2 December 1815 7 May 1891) was a Prince Edward Island politician and premier. He was born in England to a prominent family, his father having been mayor of Bristol on several occasions. Haythorne arrived in Prince Edward Island at the age of 25 and, with his brother, acquired ownership of 10,000 acres (40 km²) of land. When the land question became a major issue in the 1860s Haythorne who had been a progressive farmer and a reformer decided to sell his land to his tenants for two dollars an acre ($494/km²). His former tenants asked him to run for a seat on the legislative council (which was by then an elected body) in 1867 and he did so winning the seat as a Liberal. Haythorne joined the Liberal government of George Coles and became Premier in 1869 after Coles retired and his successor, Joseph Hensley accepted a judicial appointment. Politically, Haythorne became skeptical of Canadian confederation and his government rejected pressure by the British to join Canada because he didn't see confederation as offering a solution to the land question. He favoured reciprocity with the United States as an alternative. Haythorne's majority in the legislature was cut to only four seats as a result of the 1870 election. The issue of school funding divided his government, Haythorne supported funding of separate schools leading to the resignation of several of his ministers and the fall of his government in the fall of 1870. James Colledge Pope formed a coalition government with dissidents from Haythorne's Liberal party but Pope's g...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=597221 ... Read more
