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.

When Jeremy Belknap and seven associates met in Boston on January 24, 1791, to establish the Massachusetts Historical Society, there was nothing like it anywhere in North America. Belknap, concerned that accident and carelessness were jeopardizing America's documentary heritage, proposed an organization to provide a secure repository for rare manuscripts and printed works and a publication program to "multiply the copies" of these valuable items. The Society that eight Boston gentlemen created that evening was the first institution anywhere for "the collection and preservation of materials for a political and natural history of the United States". The Massachusetts Historical Society: A Bicentennial History, 1791-1991, is a candid and detailed account of this remarkable institution's first two centuries. Despite its location and its name, the Society has never been a provincial institution, dedicated to chronicling the story of a single city or state. Through its incomparable library and publications, as well as through the writings of such illustrious members as Belknap, Francis Parkman, William Hickling Prescott, Samuel Eliot Morison, and scores of modern scholars, the Society has been - and continues to be - a profound influence on the study of a nation's history.

Excerpt from Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. 4 Journal of a Visit to the Oneida Indians. In the pres ent volume will be found selections from Dr. Belknap's familiar correspondence from 1766 to 1798, numerous letters which came into his possession while engaged in the preparation of the History of New Hampshire, and a minute account of the difficulties between him and his parish at Dover, N. H., together with other papers of his torical or biographical interest. Unfortunately, Dr. Belknap kept Copies Of but few Of his letters to personal friends; and much of his corre spondence which probably remains has not been recovered. From references in the letters sent to him, and from the occasional rough drafts preserved by him, as well as from the correspondence with Mr. Hazard, it is evident that he was a very interesting and suggestive letter writer, and the loss or disappearance Of so many of his own let ters must be greatly regretted. The letters given to him for their historical interest and value relate for the most part to the state of the country just before the Revolu tion, and are well worth preserving. The narrative of the troubles at Dover is believed to be the most minute and trustworthy document Of the kind now existing; but the circumstances of the case were not peculiar, and it is known that in many other parishes the depreciation Of the paper currency, during the Revolution and after peace was won, produced a similar state Of affairs.
