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.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Miss Hester if a kind, somewhat eccentric maiden lady burdened for years caring for her bitter, cantankerous bed-ridden mother. The only happiness in her drab existence is her secret catalog page lover, Benjamin. He provides her love and hope in her fantasy world. And then a dynamic, handsome evangelist and his son comes to town for a religious revival and "healing". Miss Hester sees hope for the first time in years. She falls madly in love with him and takes his motherless son under her wings. She pays him to come to home to "heal" Mother Riker. Reverend Resurrection is a con artist and takes advantage of the innocent and the gullible. The son, loves Miss Hester as a mother-figure, and finally confesses the fraud. You'll be pleasantly surprised at Miss Hester's strength and fortitude. For once again, it will reveal in strong, emotional terms, that good triumphs over evil.

Operation Mincemeat is one of the stranger tales to come out of the Second World War. A corpse dressed as a British pilot was dropped in the ocean near Spain, with the forged documents he carried landing in the hands of the Germans to convince them to move their troops to the advantage of the allied forces.It is an event perhaps most popularly told in Ben Macintyre's 2010 book Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story That Changed the Course of World War II, but it has recently been retold in a 2021 film and is currently the plot of an Olivier-winning West End musical. Operation Mincemeat has never been more familiar to the public.To sell the ruse of the corpse, MI5 had to create a credible backstory for their fictitious pilot. They filled his briefcase with receipts, cigarettes, a photograph, and, importantly, two fabricated love letters.An interview with MI5 secretary Jean Leslie, conducted by Macintyre for his book, revealed the name of the woman behind those letters to be a 'Hester Leggett'. This has been repeated ever since, including in both the film and the musical.Hester Leggett does not exist.The false identity was discovered by a group of fans of the musical. While we know much about the other key figures portrayed in the musical, Hester was always more of a mystery and once the group started to research her, they discovered she was actually Hester Leggatt.This misplaced vowel made all the difference and we uncovered a huge amount about the real Hester. This book tells the story of how the musical fanbase found her school records, her family, her real love letters from the Second World War, and definitive confirmation from MI5 that they had the right person.
