The Suffolk Parricide, Being, the Trial, Life, Transactions, and Last Dying Words, of Charles Drew, of Long-Melford, ... by a Gentleman of Long-Melford.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration, and rapidly growing technology. Advances in the printing press enabled expanding record-keeping, and in its determination to preserve this century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to safeguard 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.

A Window into Legal and Social History
