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.

Product Description
"The Correspondence of Robert Boyle, 1636-1691" is the first edition of Boyle's correspondence transcribed, mostly for the first time, from the original manuscripts. It is fully annotated, with an introduction and comprehensive general index. "The Correspondence of Robert Boyle" is a British Academy Research Project. Robert Boyle (1627-91) was not only one of the founders of modern Western science but also a key figure in late 17th-century English culture. Himself a prolific and innovative experimenter, he was at the centre of a network of figures with similar interests. These included some of the most important European intellectuals of his day, together with many leading figures in the most innovative and influential scientific institution of the 17th century, the Royal Society. This is the first complete edition of Boyle's correspondence. More than a third of the letters presented here have never before been published, while the text of others is more complete and accurate than hitherto. Boyle's surviving correspondence is with over 300 men and women.They range from luminaries such as the philosopher, John Locke, or the churchman and politician, Gilbert Burnet, to men who are little known - figures like the shadowy French alchemist, Georges Pierre, or the New England physician, William Avery. Yet these correspondence are hardly less significant than the celebrities for understanding Boyle's milieu, and the new edition is important not least for the light it throws on the circles of alchemists and chemists in Boyle's period in England and abroad, whose activities are otherwise barely known and have yet to be fully explored. Boyle's piety was celebrated, many of this letters are to clergymen who advised him in his spiritual life, while his charity to those in need is reflected by various letters seeking his assistance, not least from Hugenot refugees from the France of Louis XIV. "The Correspondence" also illustrates Boyle's active role in the promotion of Protestant Christianity. For nearly thirty years as Governor of the Corporation for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England (the New England Company), his profound interest in the affairs of that body is illustrated by many letters.Other letters give details of Boyle's involvement in projects to promulgate a Gaelic translation of the Bible in Ireland and in the Scottish Highlands. The correspondence also provides crucial materials for Boyle's own life as a member of a distinguished Anglo-Irish family. His earliest letters are to his father, the great Earl of Cork, while subsequent ones throw light on his land holdings in Ireland and on his relations with his brothers, sisters and other members of his family. ...

The Sermon preached by Mr. Parsons on the death of the Earl of Rochester was interestr ing, only on account of the additional information which it afforded respecting that extraordinary man. Accordingly, the Biographical part alone if retained ; and will be found subjoined to the Life, in the form of an Appendix.It was at first a question, whether the Memoir respecting Sir Matthew Hale, by Richard Baxter, should be retained or rejected. The objection to its retention arose from its being so strongly marked with that spirit of non-conformity, which predominated in the mind, and gave law to the conduct, of it otherwise excellent, and justly cele breted author.Retention was at length preferred; not only because the sketches of Hale, which Baxter has given, were immediately from the life, while Burnet depended solely on the information of others; but also, because some of the particulars which Baxter has recorded, - may serve to throw useful light on a remarkable transaction in the life of Hale. This transaction, as related by Burnet, might, at first view, be thought to bear a favourable testimony t the cause of non-conformity.' Certain circumstances, stated, as far as we know, exclusively in Baxter's memoir, sire peculiarly fitted to obviate any such conclusion.The passage in Bumet's life of Hale, to which this observation alludes, is that in which the then Chief Baron is ... ...
