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.
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.

A classic in analytic geometry
A rare treatise of a young genius, on the "organic" or mechanical generation of algebraic curves. Very well scanned and reprinted. Formulas and diagrams readable. This is the right way to give new life to a forgotten classic of science. ... Read more

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.

Other readings of early writings
It has been a long time since I read this book, but I would recommend all the gospel books that have been published in the last few years to anyone interested in Bible literature.

Deep, Simple, and Grounded
I spent a lot of time going over my options before I purchased a copy of this Gospel.Everybody who is in the spirituality biz seems to want a piece of what Thomas has to say, and they all do a good job of making Thomas dance to their tune.I wanted Thomas himself -- not a distorted Da Vinci Code inspired rehash of ideas gleaned from The Secret. Finally, I found this book. It's thin -- just a little over 100 pages -- and stripped to the essence.The Gospel itself is presented in a beautiful and admirably consistent hand-written script.Particularly difficult passages are represented in a separate, slightly expanded paraphrase, and there is a selection of notes at the end of the book that assist deeper comprehension without becoming overly directive or coercive.I cannot read Coptic, so I cannot attest to the absolute purity of Mr. Ross' translation, but my gut (which I think is pretty well-tuned, and which rarely fails me) tells me that this is as close as English can get to what the Gospel says in its own language. If you have any interest in Thomas I would strongly recommend this book before all others, or at least before all the others that I have seen.

and you thought all Cambridge Don's were just snobs
This translation has a subtlety about it, I simply didnt' find eslewhere, I mean I like Leloup's transaltion enough to buy it, but didn't find any others appealing and rewarding enough to fork over the hard cash, but thisone struck a chord. Hugh 's approach is humane and poetic, but not lacking in the facts, and hard hitting disturbance you come to expect from a gospel; it's easy to see why it was included in earlier versions of christian canon, esp in Persia with Hugh's particular slant. ...
