quickly grew in popularity and size. The 3rd edition in 1801 reached 20

years ago. Print volumes are increasingly difficult to
find. And if you were to find one, expect to pay!

collector's encyclopedia and lower its value? With this
DVD-ROM disk, you can pop it in your laptop on a plane and read
along as much as you like. With 22,000 pages, I doubt
