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. 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.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

[48]p.; 8 Contributor Bio:  Wing, John, Jr. Born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario, John Wing has been a stand-up comedian for more than 20 years. He has worked in comedy clubs and colleges in thirty states and in every Canadian province. Arriving in America in the late '80s, John quickly racked up appearances on Fox's Comic Strip Live, MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour, VH-1's Stand Up Spotlight, and A&E's An Evening At The Improv, on which he has performed five times. He has also starred in two pilots, Class Clowns for Disney and Dick Clark Productions, and Longshot Cafe for Filmhouse Entertainment. John's big break came with a shot at The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1990. He has since made six appearances. Having made his deadpan, sarcastic wit a style to be reckoned with, John made his second go-around at the 1993 Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and his performance for the Canadian Broadcasting Company's special was strong enough to earn him a Gemini nomination, Canada's award for excellence in television. In 2007 John had his own radio show on CBC.
