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.

(Excerpt from Are You a Christian or a Calvinist? Or Do Yo...)
Excerpt from Are You a Christian or a Calvinist? Or Do You Prefer the Authority of Christ to That of the Genevan Reformer?: Both the Form and Spirit of These Questions Being Suggested by the Late Review of American Unitarianism, in the Panoplist, and by the Rev. Mr. Worcester's Letter to Mr. Channing Now what does this involve? Not only, that you believe the apostles inspired, but that every clerk and copyist (whether slave or monk) was also inspired; that even the orthodox men, who made the interpolations to suit their dogmas, were inspired and that all the bishops and divines who made the translation were inspired. I introduce this point first, because it comes first in order. The orthodox also maintain, that certain opinions and speculations, not to be found in the scripture, but which Calvin declared he believed were intended to be placed there, or pretended that he discovered in them, and certain other opinions, held by an assembly of Divines in Great Britain, are to be received as the rule of our faith; however impossible we may find it to understand such doctrines, and even if upon the most accurate examination and impar tial inquiry we shall be convinced, that no such doctrines are contained in the scriptures. The real point, and the only point, of difference between those who are called the liberal clergy and the orthodox, rests on this ground. The orthodox believe in Calvin and the Westminster Assembly; the liberal christians in Christ and his apos tles. The former are Calvinists - the latter, Christians. Yet so intolerant and unreasonable are the party who have arrogated to themselves the title of orthodox, that they venture to deny the name and title of christians to the fol lowers of Christ, and apply it exclusively to the followers of Calvin and of human councils, assemblies, and creed makers.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

(Excerpt from Life and Letters of George Cabot A sentimen...)
Excerpt from Life and Letters of George Cabot A sentiment of respect for the memory of my great grandfather, and a desire to rescue his name if possible from complete oblivion, induced me to undertake the work of which this volume is the result. The difficulties in my way at first seemed insurmountable. Mr. Cabot, shortly before his death, made an almost complete destruction of all his letters and papers; and I had, therefore, no material for a biography in the best sense of the word. Mr. Cabot's correspondents, however, had preserved his letters; and examination led me to believe that they were of consider able historical value. Selections from these letters form the principal part of this volume. Being debarred by the nature of my only materials from writing a suitable biog raphy, and not considering that a history of any period could be properly treated in a work relating exclusively to an individual, I was forced to confine myself to the task of simply editing those letters which seemed to merit publication. With this object, I have prefixed to each chapter a short account of Mr. Cabot's public life, and of such events as happened during the period covered by the letters and alluded to in them. These introductory passages and the notes as well have been written with the sole purpose of rendering the accompanying letters intelligible.

John Lowell was born on October 6, 1769 in Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States, the son of Judge John Lowell, 1743-1802, and his first wife, Sarah (Higginson) Lowell. He was a half-brother of Francis Cabot Lowell.
Lowell graduated from Phillips Andover and then from Harvard in 1786. After studying law, he was admitted to the bar in 1789.
Lowell acquired a wide and lucrative law practice. He ably represented Boston in the Massachusetts legislature from 1798 to 1800. His active professional career ended in 1803, when, his health broken through overwork, he went abroad for a three-year rest. Already he had amassed a sufficient fortune to retire for the remainder of his life.
After his return to Massachusetts in 1806 he took an active part in the political controversies of the day, writing vigorous pamphlets and letters to the press. An expression in one of his papers gained him the sobriquet of "the little Rebel" or "the Boston Rebel. " He was consequently and with some justification regarded as a secessionist, but he denied the allegation. His Review of a Treatise on Expatriation by George Hay Esquire (1814) is said to have been influential in persuading the government not to retaliate for the death of three British deserters captured in the Chesapeake affair. Henry Adams resentative" of Timothy Pickering, and their correspondence indicates that Pickering often dictated Lowell's political views. Because of his failure to sign his writings and his distaste for publicity it is difficult to estimate his importance. Unquestionably influential in New England, his pamphlets seem to have been generally unknown elsewhere. From 1810 to 1822 he was a member of the Harvard Corporation; from 1823 to 1827, an Overseer.
After his retirement he quietly gave both money and legal services to those in need. His religious articles were widely read; his contributions to the current controversy about the constitutions of the Massachusetts Congregational churches were considered valuable. His writing, clear, forceful, and carefully argued, was praised by such men as Edward Everett, John Jay, and John Marshall.
Lowell was best known as a Federalist pamphlet writer. His most famous works were Mr. Madison's War (1812); Are You a Christian or a Calvinist? (1815); An Address Delivered Before the Massachusetts Agricultural Society (1818). He was also a founder of the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Provident Institution for Savings.

Lowell supported the Federalist point of view and opposed the Embargo, Madison, the "French alliance, " and the War of 1812. He opposed the Hartford Convention because "it would not go far enough".
Lowell was an influential member of the Boston Athenæum, Massachusetts Agricultural Society, Massachusetts Historical Society, and American Antiquarian Society.
Lowell was a scientific farmer and cattle-breeder, a competent botanist, and a frequent contributor to the New England Farmer. On his Roxbury farm he had some of the finest greenhouses in the country, the first to be built on truly scientific principles. He loved farming, and "wanted only to be known as the 'Norfolk Farmer'".
On June 8, 1793, Lowell married Rebecca Amory. Through his son John Amory Lowell he was the grandfather of John Lowell, 1824-1897 and the great-grandfather of Amy, and Abbott Lawrence Lowell.
