O o For For God's fake, gentlemen, fay something about thole men of fense who look upon women to be ideots, and yet arc guilty of actions, that would make the meanest of us ashamed.--Is this superiority of understanding, upon which the generality of your sex so highly pique themselves, to be pleaded as an eternal excuse for indiscretions and errors, and no allowance to be made for the little failings of the poor women, tho' we are treated continually as fools?

They hit a mark with a stone to a miracle of exactness, though the mark be a hundred paces distant, and no bigger than a halfpenny. I have beheld them at this exercise with the highest pleasure and astonishment; and was never weary of the spectacle. I still expected, aster repeated successes, that the stone would err 1 but I expected in vain: still went the stone right to the mark; and my pleasure and astonishment were redoubled.

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.
