An eighteenth-century view of geography

Thomas Salmon’s geographical grammar presents countries through their situation and extent, reflecting the way geography was organized in an eighteenth-century reference work. The bibliographic record identifies this edition as a reprint of a 1782 Edinburgh publication, first issued under the title *A New Geographical and Historical Grammar*. Its 770 pages include map plates, placing geographical description alongside visual material. As part of a collection of historical works, it offers a period account of how the world was recorded and understood by eighteenth-century writers.

Book overview

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.
Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of conflict.
