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. Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Attributed to Sharpe by James Burmester, Catalogue 41, 1999. On t.p. 'Dedicated to the Reverend Mr. William Bisset Author of the Reformation Sermons; Intitled, Plain English, and More Plain English.' This pamphlet takes the form of an amusing and scurrilous character book satirising the proposals Bisset made in his sermon 'Plain English'. The edition may be false: William Bisset published 'Plain English', a sermon for the reformation of manners, and 'More Plain English' in 1704. Sharpe published two different pamphlets 'Plain English Made Plainer', and this could be another of his works. Roman text, words requiring emphasis printed in black letter. London, : Printed for S. Malthus ..., 1704.. [4], 106, [2] p. ; 8
