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.

Samuel Langdon was born in Boston, Massachussets. He was the youngest child of Samuel, a builder, and Esther (Osgood) Langdon.
Samuel was prepared for college at the South Grammar School, and entered Harvard in 1736. The University of Aberdeen gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1762.
Upon graduating in 1740, in the same class with Samuel Adams, Langdon went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he took charge of the grammar school and acquired a reputation for learning and piety.
In 1745 he went to Louisbourg as chaplain of the New Hampshire regiment and in the same year he became assistant to the Rev. Jabez Fitch of the North Church in Portsmouth. Two years later he succeeded Fitch as pastor, in which capacity he continued to serve most acceptably until 1774. His sermons were prepared with great care and he was the recognized head of the Piscataqua Association of ministers.
For his services in the Louisbourg expedition Langdon was granted land near Conway, New Hampshire. Possibly it was this incident that led him to become interested in the geography and resources of the province. In 1756 he drew for Gov. Benning Wentworth a map of New Hampshire which became the basis of one that Langdon and Col. Joseph Blanchard published in London in 1761. The latter was dedicated to Charles Townshend, secretary at war. According to his kinsman, the Rev. John Eliot. Samuel Langdon was elected to the presidency of Harvard College more because of "his character, as a zealous whig" than because of "his reputation in the republick of letters. " Several officers of the college were pro-British, and John Hancock, the treasurer, was convinced that an out-and-out Whig was needed for the presidency.
Accordingly Langdon was elected in 1774. But he did not enjoy the years that followed. War conditions prevailed, nerves were overwrought, and Langdon "did not receive all that kindness from the students and officers, or legislature of the college, which his character, as a scholar and a christian, merited" (Eliot, post, pp. 291-92). In August 1780, he asked the Corporation to accept his resignation. It was unfortunate that he took this step just two days after an impudent committee of students had suggested that he do so.
During the remaining seventeen years of his life he was the beloved pastor of Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. His term of service there was quiet, useful, and happy. In 1788 he was a member of the New Hampshire convention for ratifying the federal Constitution. He bequeathed his library to the church for the use of the ministers of Hampton Falls. He was buried in the old cemetery in that town.

Langdon was married, in 1748, to Elizabeth Brown, daughter of the Rev. Richard Brown of Reading, Massachussets. Five of their children lived to maturity, and three of these left descendants.
