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.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Daniel Leeds was born in England, probably in Nottinghamshire, and emigrated to America with his father, Thomas, some time in the third quarter of the seventeenth century. The family may have settled first on Long Island; later they went to Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
In 1677 Daniel Leeds removed from Shrewsbury to Burlington. He was appointed surveyor general of the Province of West Jersey in 1682, and was elected to the Assembly the same year. In 1702 he was appointed to Lord Cornbury's council, serving until 1708. As surveyor general, he made the first authorized map of Burlington, "The Streets and Lots of Land Laid in the Town of Burlington" (1696).
He was also an almanac maker of note. His first almanac was issued in Philadelphia from the press of William Bradford, 1663-1752, under the title, An Almanac for the Year of the Christian Account, 1687, Particularly Respecting the Meridian and Latitude of Burlington, but May Indifferently Serve All Places Adjacent. The following year Bradford published a religious dissertation by Leeds entitled The Temple of Wisdom for the Little World: In Two Parts, etc. (1688).
His second almanac, that for the year 1688, was suppressed by the Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting, because "in imitation of the Almanacs published in England, Daniel had added some light, foolish and unsavoury paragraphs, which gave great uneasiness and offence to Friends of Philadelphia" (Kite, post, p. 13). Bradford, the printer, was ordered by the Meeting to bring in all unsold copies of the offending almanac, and they were destroyed; although the Meeting, quite fairly, paid the printer for them. Although he wrote a letter of apology to the Meeting after this episode, Leeds shortly withdrew from the Society of Friends, and consorted with Bradford and George Keith, who had become opponents of Quakerism.
Henceforth he wrote numerous pamphlets, rather recklessly accusing the founder of the Society, George Fox, of forgeries, and William Penn, of covering up the evidence of them. His pamphlets of this character, printed by Bradford, who removed to New York in 1693, include: News of a Trumpet Sounding in the Wilderness (1697); A Trumpet Sounded out of the Wilderness of America (1699); The Rebuker Rebuked (1703); The Great Mistery of Fox-Craft Discovered (1705), and The Second Part of the Mystry of Fox-Craft (1705).
For his attacks upon the heads of Quakerdom, Leeds became a target for Quaker pamphlets. In 1700 Caleb Pusey published Satan's Harbinger Encountered, His False News of a Trumpet Detected, and in 1702, Daniel Leeds Justly Rebuked for Abusing William Penn and his Foly and Fals-Hoods in His Two Printed Chalenges to Caleb Pusey. The following year he appended "Remarks on Daniel Leeds Abusive Almanac for 1703" to his Proteus Ecclesiasticus, or George Keith Varied in Fundamentals. Pusey characterized Leeds as "a perverter of our Friends words, " and a false citer in divers respects.
On the title-pages of his earliest almanacs Leeds described himself as a "Student of Agriculture. " He passed the greater part of his life in Burlington, New Jersey, where he died.

Leeds was married four times: first, before he left England; second, February 21, 1681, to Ann Stacy, who bore him a child and died; third, early in 1682, to Dorothy Young, who became the mother of several children; and fourth, sometime between 1700 and 1705, to a widow, Jane, née Revell. One of his sons, Titan Leeds, who computed the tables for the American Almanac from 1714 to 1746, is remembered as the victim of one of Benjamin Franklin's practical jokes. In his first almanac, 1733, "Poor Richard" predicted the death, "on October 17, 1733, 3 hr. 29 m. , P. M. ," of "his good friend and fellow-student, Mr. Titan Leeds, " and the next year, despite Leeds's published protest, insisted: "There is the strongest probability that my dear friend is no more, " because "Mr. Leeds was too well bred to use any man so indecently and so scurrilously" as "Poor Richard" had been used in Leeds's protest. The controversy between them went on for several years. Another son of Daniel Leeds, Felix was also an almanac maker, computing almanacs for the years 1727-1730.
