 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supporters contend that the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) represents "the sum of human knowledge" at the beginning of the 20th century; indeed, it was advertised as such.
The Eleventh Edition formed the basis for every edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica up until 1974, when the completely new Fifteenth Edition, based on modern information presentation, was published.
When T.S. Eliot wrote "Soul curled up on the window seat reading the Encyclopædia Britannica" he was certainly thinking of the eleventh edition.

 The 22 CD-ROM Collection
Britannica has long been acknowledged as the greatest encyclopedia ever written, and because this is edition is 88 years old...
The complete 29-volume (30,000 page) 1910 Encyclopedia Britannica, the last time that the sum-total of human knowledge was ever printed from a Christian perspective (Britannica "went secular" with their next edition, and has remained so ever since then).
but remember: 98% of recorded history occurred prior to 1910 and the articles in this edition pertaining to much of that history are much more in-depth than in the current 21st Century editions of Britannica!

 Islam Guide: More on Women in Islam
As late as the Code of Christian V, at the end of the 17th Century, it was enacted that if a woman married without the consent of her tutor he might have, if he wished, administration and usufruct of her goods during her life.” (The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911).
(1) Describing the status of the Indian woman, The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911, states: “In India, subjection was a cardinal principle.
In The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911, we find a summary of the legal status of women in the Roman civilization: “In Roman Law a woman was even in historic times completely dependent.

The beginning of the twentieth century was a time of unprecedented wealth, and an age of great technological achievements when humankind bragged that it could build an ocean liner that God, Himself, couldn't sink.

Current online 1911 editions are OCR scanned and thus of very poor quality.
Unlike the regular wikipedia, 1911 wikipedia would be edited only to conform with the actual printed form.
While anyone would be allowed to edit, once an article conformed to the printed edition and included any needed pictures there would be a partial lockdown of the article, although exceptions could be made for errors found later on, or if better scanned pictures are available.

 hegel.net - Enyclopedia Britannica 1911
Or again, the process of scientific induction is a threefold chain; the original hypothesis (the first unification of the fact) seems to melt away when confronted with opposite facts, and yet no scientific progress is possible unless the stimulus of the original unification is strong enough to clasp the discordant facts and establish a reunification.
Thesis, antithesis and synthesis, a Fichtean formula, is generalized by Hegel into the perpetual law of thought (for a discussion of these three steps by Hegel, see the paragraphs 79-82 of his Encyclopedia).
They showed that a philosophical theory is not an accident or whim, but an exponent of its age determined by its antecedents and environments, and handing on its results to the future.
