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.

theologian university professor
He was born in Manchester, and educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
Emmanuel College.
He did not in fact publish in the field of philosophy, and is now known mainly as a well-connected diarist. He was Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, from 1650 to 1660, and Vice-Chancellor in 1657. At the English Restoration he was replaced by Richard Sterne, apparently willingly.
Subsequently he held various church positions, being lecturer at Street Benet Fink in London until burnt out in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
He then was given a living at Ingoldsby. At the end of his life he was a lecturer in Hackney.
Worthington was an active correspondent of Samuel Hartlib, the "intelligencer", in the period 1655 to 1662. At Worthington"s request, Hartlib"s close collaborator John Dury searched in the Netherlands for the lost papers of Henry Ainsworth.
He shared with Hartlib and Dury (and both Henry More and John Covel) an interest in the Karaites.
After Hartlib"s death, Worthington took on the task of organising his archive of correspondence, which had been bought by William Brereton, 2nd Baron Brereton. After a period of nearly 300 years, the bundles into which he sorted it were rediscovered, and his system for the archive persists.
