History Forum / General / British History / December 2007Re: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th edition
"Liberals" HATE value judgements of any sort -- except their own, of course. --------------------------------------------- "It must be the last encyclopedia in the tradition of Diderot which assumes that information can be made memorable only when it is slightly colored by prejudice." Sir Kenneth Clark, in _Another Part of the Wood_, wrote of the Eleventh Edition -------------------------- Yes, much better than Pogue Gans, infra. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas "Paul J Gans" <gans@panix.com> wrote in message news:fl3hig$1v9$2@reader2.panix.com... > No, I don't think value judgements are appropriate in history > itself. The historian's job is to report on what happened, as > best as he can figure. As soon as you start to decide good and > evil, you bias your viewpoint. A smart person often asks a question to which he ALREADY knows the answer because she knows that many OTHER people DON'T know the answer. Once again, Leo van de Pas bares his ignorance and total lack of any Legal or Rhetorical Education. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Interesting... DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas ---------------------------------------- > Nat, > All those you are missing are available on Internet Archive > http://www.archive.org/index.php search for Encyclopaedia Britannica (you [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Best, > Ken Pogue Leo even got THAT... Dead Wrong... Nat Taylor talked in terms of 29 volumes. Vide infra. DSH > A says there are 28 volumes ---------------------------------------- > Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th edition: > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > Nat Taylor > http://www.nltaylor.net Recte... DSH --------------------------------------- Hilarious! Pogue Leo NOW confuses questions to which a person knows the answers with LEADING questions. A Grave Mistake... Again, we see that Pogue Leo has no Legal or Rhetorical Education. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Hilarious! Nat Taylor was allegedly looking for all PDF files for the fabled 1911 edition, but he was actually looking at the 1910 edition, which allegedly has no index. The index allegedly appeared in the 1911 version of the 11th Edition. So, naturally, Nat was unable to find the index in the files for that 1910 edition. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Supplements and Errata to an Edition should be included as part of an Edition, of course.... But not Yearbooks. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas "James Hogg" is, of course, a sock puppet too. Just like "Leticia Cluff". DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas "James Hogg" and "Leticia Cluff" are both sock puppets. There are several others here as well -- as the cognoscenti well understand. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Was it in Good Shape? DSH > I noticed today Oxfam Book Shop, Bedford [England] "Encyclopaedia > Britannica - 11th Edition - Much sought after and complete". £99 [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > It occupied a few shelves, if I has read this thread earlier I could > have least stood there and counted the Volumes. |
