Product Description
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.

There is an old adage, " Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day;" but, though generally applicable in the routine of daily life, I hold it would be unwise to act upon it in the present instance. Do not decide in haste, or, to quote another old proverb, you may have occasion to repent at leisure. Look well about you before taking any decisive48 SETTLING DOWN.step in the matter. Many a spot which to your uninitiated eye may appear possessed of manifold and great advantages, will on closer examination prove not to be nearly so eligible as you, in the first blush of English experience, flattered yourself that it was. No man, it appears to me, is in a position to form a correct judgment in the matter, or to make a judicious choice, until after the lapse of at least a year from his arrival at home.
