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. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

Legal History

In the ancient church of St Clement's at Rodil, on the Isle of Harris, Alasdair Crotach - Alexander (the hunchback) Macleod - eighth chief of the Macleods of Harris and Dunvegan, prepared his elaborate tomb in 1528. Among the numerous intricately carved figures on the tomb is the finest true representation of a Hebridean birlinn in existence, carved with such meticulous technical detail that even the stitches on the panels of sailcloth are shown.Magnificent in style and form, awesome in their power, a thrilling spectacle to behold - the birlinn of the Lords of the Isles. Imaginations are fuelled by the romance of those ancient ships, but very little thought is now given to the high degree of perfection achieved by the early shipwrights who accomplished this perfect marriage of wood, wind, and water; for the transport of men on epic voyages of discovery, great sea battles, clan feuds and raids, as well as the everyday tasks of a seafaring people.The birlinn is best known today in its stylised form as a device used on crests and coats of arms - the heraldic 'galley'. John Macaulay, a Harris islander and himself an experienced seaman and shipwright, explores the reality behind this romantic image, as he traces the evolution of the birlinn from the Viking longship, using his own technical knowledge and the oral traditions of the Islands to cast light on the practical skills which created these fabled vessels.
