Publisher Marketing: 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. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Austen, 1735. 2v., plates; 8 Contributor Bio:  Barrow, John ABOUT THE AUTHOR Valerie Barrow was a businesswoman for many years before moving with her husband to country New South Wales Australia, to be closer to her grandchildren and nature. She had worked in the Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore region teaching, conducting groups and giving public talks. She has been interviewed on television in Hong Kong and Australia, and on radio in New York, Texas and Australia. The Author is highly regarded for her mediumship and wise counsel. Several visits to India and conversations with Sri Sathya Sai Baba helped her understand she receives information by divine illumination. Since 1982 she has worked with unseen beings that speak with her or overlight her body and speak through her. Her first book The Book of Love is written in diary form while sitting with a sacred Alcheringa Stone. The Stone, wrapped in paperbark, belongs to the Australian Aboriginals who advise it has come from the stars. It is an introduction to the much larger picture depicted in her second book 'Alcheringa' - when the first ancestors were created - that illustrates a non-fiction story about where humans come from where they are going to and what they will become.
