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.

This work apparently was first written almost entirely in French, and published in a Russian translation in 1767. The present edition is a translation of the German text entitled in the bilingual edition of 1767 'Jhrer Kaiserlichen Majestät Catharinae II Instruction für die zu Verfertigung des Entwurfs zu einem neuen Gesets-Buche verordnete Commission'. Largely compiled and adapted by Catherine personally from Montesquieu's 'De l'esprit des loix', Beccaria's 'Traité des délits et des peines', and several other sources.
