<p>The Enlightenment, the age of intellectual inquiry and discovery that stretched from roughly 1680 to 1820, drew fundamentally from the European colonization of the Americas. This exhibition tells the story of how New World discoveries and ideas contributed to the Enlightenment and illustrates the transatlantic debates over issues of government, science, religion, and individual rights that shaped it. On display are books that were owned, written, dissected, or annotated by notable mid-eighteenth-century British Americans and one African American, and books about peculiarly North American topics.</p>
