Encyclopedias and Dictionaries etc

Encyclopedia Britannica—(2-volume Propædia, 12-volume Micropædia, 17-volume Macropædia, and 2-volume index of 1985). The current online version of the Britannica seems to represent a lowering of standards. However past editions of Britannica have been the standard in some ways. The system of knowledge of the 15^th edition (in Propædia—also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propædia) is useful as base from which to begin an organization of knowledge. Some thinkers would criticize the idea of such organization; however organizations are useful especially if not dogmatic; and today we can easily reorganize human knowledge from various viewpoints using, e.g. database technology.
