Excerpt: ... TOUR AMERICA. SECTION I. An Account of my Tour from my Jirst Landing in America, to the Time of my settling at Orange-Hill, near Baltimore; being a Period of Jive Months. I Sailed from Liverpool, September 3d, 798; and, after a very long and bad passage, arrived at Norfolk in Virginia, on the 11 th of November. During my stay of four days in this town, I met with many English gentlemen; and was very pleasantly treated,--particularly by Mr. Cox, a gentleman from Derbyshire. When I was first introduced here, the conversation, as the company were seated at dinner, was on politics; and the Englishmen were all for England, and great supporters of the crown and its dignity. Mr. Cox being in the chair, the King of England was the first health, and Mr. Pitt next. After dinner was over, I began to inquire for some hay for my horses and cattle; but was told there was no such thing. I was astonished to find in so large a town, where a great number of horses, mules, and cows, were kept, no hay, and in the month of November too. The people seemed as much surprised at my asking for hay, as I was at there being none: and well they might; for when I walked out into the ground, I saw no such thing as grass growing, nor any sort of green herb. This to me, as an Englishman, was a very unusual spectacle; to see land without something upon it: and not a little mortifying, to one who had been tempted to believe it to be (as they term it) the best land in the world. I knew that if all their land was like that, a man could not live in plenty and splendor from the produce of such crops as it would bring. It was natural for me now to inquire, what they kept their cows and horses on during the winter. They told me--their horses on blades, and their cows on slops. I neither knew wh...

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. Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
