A digital collection of all the books published in Great Britain and its colonies during the eighteenth century, comprising some 33 million pages from more than 180,000 titles. The collection includes books in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, Spanish and Welsh.
Uniquely and never before available online, JISC Historic Books also includes:
Nineteenth Century books from the British Library collection
