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. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Charles Bulkley
Edit ProfileCareer
His early education was under the Review Lancaster, a clergyman at Chester. He was trained for the ministry under Philip Doddridge, whose Northampton Academy he entered in 1736.
He shortly moved on to Colchester for a while.
Ashworth had been minister of the Baptist congregation at White"s Alley, Little Moorfields. In 1743 Bulkley was the successful candidate (in competition with Richard Baron) for that post, but he again moved on to a more prominent position.
Bulkley, in 1745, succeeded James Foster at the Barbican, carrying with him his congregation from White"s Alley. Some years later, when Foster retired (January 1752) from the Sunday evening lectureship at the Old Jewry Meeting-house, Bulkley again succeeded him.
He came round, after Foster"s death, to "mixed communion", and was taken to task for it by Grantham Killingworth, a General Baptist layman of Norwich.
He is reported to have had a crowded audience at the Old Jewry for some few years. In 1779 the General Baptist numbers in London were dropping. Bulkley"s congregation associated with three others in building a small meeting-house in Worship Street, Finsbury (they moved in 1878.
The congregation was at Bethnal Green at the end of the 19th century).
Bulkley continued his ministry, though paralysis in 1795 broke his health and affected his speech. Bulkley died on 15 April 1797, and was buried on 25 April in the graveyard behind the meeting-house in Worship Street.
