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.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title. This data is provided as an additional tool in helping to insure edition identification:++++<sourceLibrary>British Library<ESTCID>W029836<Notes>Though Evans attributes this series of almanacs through 1795 to Ezra Gleason, the present one is the work of Benjamin West. The ephemeris (p. [5]) is identical, and the eclipse predictions (p. [4]) and the astronomical and related notes on the calendar pages practically so, with those in West''s The North-American calendar for 1784 (Providence). The last two columns on the calendar pages, containing calculations for the moon''s place and for its rising and setting, duplicate those in West''s almanac, as do the times for the moon''s phases at the head of these pages. The remainder of the calculations vary slightly for the most part, reflecting the difference in meridian between Providence and Boston. Preface signed: Philomathes, i.e. Ezra Gleason. In his Notes on the almanacs of Massachusetts (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s., v. 22 (1912): 34) C.L. Nichols states that letters to Isaiah Thomas, in the possession of the American Antiquarian Society, prove that the calculations for these almanacs, from 1775 to 1786, were made by Benjamin West. Here Nichols erred in haste. AAS has two letters to Thomas from West, written in 1784 and 1785. The former discusses the sale of his calculations for 1785 to Thomas; the latter states his inability to provide them for 1786. None of the Thomas almanac before 1784 bears any resemblance to those of West, and most significantly resemble the work of other identifiable calculators.
