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 Auchmuty was born on January 26, 1722 in Massachuseets, United States to Robert and Mary Juliana Auchmuty.
Auchmuty graduated from Harvard in 1742. He received the degree of S. T. D. from Oxford in 1766, and from Kings (Columbia) in 1767.
The Bishop of London ordained him priest in 1747. In the following year Samuel became assistant minister of Trinity Church in New York. Here his duties embraced the reading of prayers, the assisting of the rector in his parochial work, and the serving as catechist to the colored population. By reason of faithful service Samuel became rector in 1764.
In 1771 he wrote an address to the Virginia Episcopalians, favoring an American Episcopate. He was a High Churchman, and in the Revolution a strong Loyalist, like most of the Anglican clergy in America.
The great fire of September 1776 occured, which destroyed Trinity Church, the charity school, and the parish tenements, and Auchmuty's house and library. His personal loss was heavy, and destruction of church property was estimated at about £22, 200. Services were carried on in the chapels, but Auchmuty did not long survive the disaster, his death being hastened perhaps by the fire and the circumstances of the war.

One died in prison, one settled in Rhobe Island, and the third, Samuel, was a founding father of the second British Empire. Later, as General Sir Samuel Auchmuty, he was sent to Dublin in1821 as commander-in-chief of the British army in Ireland.
