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.

Isaac Briggs, then a tutor at Pennsylvania College, was the calculator for all the Pennsylvania almanacs for 1783. All have the same calculations and astronomical notes on their calendar pages, with additions and some omissions, as the Nord-americanische Calender, which alone names a real person as its author. Samuel Stearns, the Massachusetts calculator, in his The American Oracle (1791) p. 44, says: "I observed at Philadelphia, in 1783, that a number of almanacks were published from one calculation, under fictitious names, as Father Abraham, Poor Will, Poor Richard, &c.; but coul not learn who was the author." - Evans gives author's name on title page erroneously as Anthony Sharp, and supposes David Rittenhouse to be the actual author.
