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.

Excerpt from The Medical Guide, for the Use of Families and Young Practitioners in Medicine and Surgery: Being a Complete System of Modern Domestic Medicine, Exhibiting a Comprehensive View of the Latest and Most Important Discoveries in Medicine, Pharmacy, &C The very favourable reception of the two first editions of this work, induced the author to make many additions to the third, the demand for which, has been much greater than is usual for publica tions of this description. It obtained the sanction of medical men, esteemed for liberality and erudi tion, who directed copies to be sent to their friends abroad: it has been translated into different lan guages on the continent, and reprinted in America; circumstances which, in his opinion, entitled t/zis fourth edition to every possible improvement, which he Hatters himself it has received, and with this presumption it is now offered to the public. These improvements principally consist, in the addition of the latest discoveries in medicine, and much im portant information relative to the prevention, cure, palliation, and distinction of diseases, interspersed with such cautions and remarks as may prevent the misapplication of the means suggested, and which are not to be found in any other work of this na ture. The whole being the result of long experience and elaborate study. He Hatters himself the contents will prove, both in Domestic Medicine, and to young practitioners, of the highest utility.
