Book 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.

Author Bio

Thomas Simpson's research lies at the intersection of imperial history, the history of South Asia (and its borderlands), the history of science, environmental history, and historical geography. It centres on colonial knowledge of space, environment, and people during the long nineteenth century, looking especially at how information was produced, communicated, and contested in 'field sciences' such as cartography and anthropology.

Having focused primarily on colonial India's frontier regions during his PhD and early postdoctoral career, Dr. Simpson's recent and ongoing research considers upland spaces and empires in modern Asia more broadly. From 2020 to 2024, he will work on the Leverhulme-funded project 'Making Climate History' in the Departments of Geography and Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge, examining changing understandings of climate across various scientific disciplines and diverse sites around the globe from c.1780 to c.1980.
