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.

John Bradford
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at Hereford grammar school, and at Wadham College, Oxford, where he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts On leaving college he accepted a curacy at Frilsham in Berkshire, where he married when twenty-eight years of age, and had a family of twelve children.
Career
About this time his religious opinions became decidedly Calvinistic, and he preached in several of Lady Huntingdon"s chapels. The rector discharged him from his curacy. Bedford then joined the Countess of Huntingdon"s Connexion, and, after spending some time in South Wales, moved to Birmingham, and preached in the old playhouse, which the countess had purchased and made into a chapel for him.
Subsequently he left the Connexion for a new chapel in Bartholomew Street, supplementing his small income by making watch-chains.
Not successful there, he moved to London in 1797, and preached till his death in the City Chapel, Grub Street. Bedford died 16 July 1805, and was buried in Bunhill Fields.
Some account of his life is given in an octavo volume, chiefly controversial, by his successor, William Wales Horne.
