1st ed. Britannica

Britannica now has a 1st
edition Encyclopædica Britannica replica set available for just
under US$200 (or here
for US$133 at Amazon). Seriously considering it, although there are
other things I could spend 180 loonies on. I would certainly get some
value out of having these three volumes containing the world’s knowledge
circa 1768 on my bookshelf, though.


(I suspect a couple of people on my friends list will appreciate this
as well.)

    That would be me, right?

    Hey, today I was at Parliament Hill for a picnic thing celebrating 1 year of gay marriages, and there were people with signs that said “Harper: a politician for the 18th century!” I immediately started thinking about enclosures, window tax, and rotten boroughs. I probably need to get out more.
