There's a crucial difference between
the 18th century = denotes the years starting from 1700 to 1799 or
in the beginning of the 18th century = I'd say somewhere between 1700 and 1720 or 1730,
and
the early 1800s = refres to the years starting from 1800 to 1820 or perhaps 1830

They basically mean the same thing.
You can also say "at the beginning of the 19th century", which puts the exact time much closer to year 1800.

"at the beginning of.." indicates a point of time rather than a period of time.
