From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An encyclopedia (also spelled encyclopaedia or encyclopædia) is a comprehensive written compendium that holds information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included. “ Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. ” — DiderotOverviewFrom Wikipedia under the

Answered by katracho4 - Thu Feb 14 16:09:59 2008 Where can I find a recent critical (scholarly) review of Encyclopedia Britannica 1911 edition?
Q. I'm looking for a recent (past 40 years) critical review of the Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition (1911). The more recent the better. The more scholarly the better. Looking for comments on its value and worth as a research source today and errors it contains. The most recent review I could fund was from the 1920s. Any help appreciated! Asked by StBalbach - Tue Aug 1 18:19:20 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Eleventh Edition is valued more for the number of well-known people who contributed, than for its factual content. It is generally acknowledged that one cannot rely wholly on it and should cross-reference facts. Also, it was compiled in the days of the "British Empire", and the prejudices of that time jump out of the pages, along with racial content. The first wikipedia link lists several errors in the 1911 (Eleventh) edition. Also, if you scroll down to 'Wikipedia Content' you will find details of someone who has a copy and who is willing to discuss the content with anyone. He gives his contact as Britanicajo@hotmail.com.
