by John Cartwright

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. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.

About the author

John ^Cartwright (17 September 1740 – 23 September 1824) was an English naval officer and prominent campaigner for parliamentary reform.

Major Cartwright wrote The English Constitution, which outlined his ideas; including government by the people and legal equality which he considered could only be achieved by universal suffrage, the secret ballot and equal electoral districts.

He was the elder brother of Edmund Cartwright, inventor of the power loom, and the younger brother of George Cartwright, trader and explorer of Labrador in Canada.
