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.

Isaac was born on August 7, 1774 in Marblehead, Massachusetts, United States. He was the second son and second child in a family of eleven to the Rev. Isaac and Rebecca (Bradstreet) Story of Marblehead, Massachussets.
He was graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1793 and studied law.
After a brief residence in Castine, Maine, 1797-99, he settled in central Massachusetts, first in the town of Sterling, later in Rutland.
Isaac Story's literary career was closely patterned after that of Joseph Dennie, Royall Tyler, David Everett, and other young lawyers who wrote moral essays, political squibs, and light verse for the newspapers in the large leisure of waiting for professional employment. The current fashion of using pseudonyms makes the identification of his contributions difficult.
Three publications, An Epistle from Yarico to Inkle (Marblehead, 1792), which is in the main a reprint of a poem published in London in 1736, The Barber's Shop: Kept by Sir David Razor, and Original and Select Poems, By the Stranger (Albany, 1827) have been erroneously ascribed to Story. Three manuscript books of his poems, with some letters and miscellaneous prose, are preserved in the library of Harvard University.
They were written originally for the Newburyport Political Gazette, but when that paper was discontinued in 1797, Story transferred the series to the Farmer's Museum.
He died in 1803 at Marblehead, Massachusetts, United States.

Besides many pieces of topical wit and political satire directed against Democrats of all descriptions, his works contain some serious patriotic, moral, and sentimental poems.
