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.

William Aldridge
Edit ProfileEducation
There he completed a theological course.
Career
At age 23 he decided to become a preacher of the gospel, and was admitted to Trevecca College in South Wales. He received a license, and for a number of years preached in the chapels of the Countess of Huntingdon"s Connexion. In September 1771 Aldridge was sent by Lady Huntingdon, with Joseph Cook, another Trevecca student, to Margate, in the Isle of Thanet.
They began by preaching in the open air.
The numbers increased from month to month. About this time occurred in Dover a schism among the Wesleyan Methodists, and Aldridge and Cook were invited there.
Aldridge preached for the first time in the market-place on a Sunday, meeting hostility. Later, the two preachers supplied Margate and Dover alternately.
The Countess then appointed Aldridge as "supply" to the Mulberry Garden chapel in Wapping.
The congregation petitioned her to make him a permanent minister. After her refusal, Aldridge left the Connexion, in 1776. Aldridge was called to the vacant Jewry Street Chapel (Calvinistic Methodist) in London.
He remained there as minister, for over 20 years.
He had Richard Povah there as assistant, in his last years. Aldridge died on 28 February 1797, and was buried in Bunhill Fields.
At Bunhill Fields the sermon was given by George Gould. The following Sunday, Anthony Crole and Thomas Bryson, both fellow Trevecca students, preached sermons for Aldridge at the Jewry Street Chapel.
