- For Bob Dawson and anyone else interested in 18c encyclopedias:
- I don't know how far you've been searching for a set of the
- _Encyclope'die Methodique_ in U.S. libraries, but I am positive that I saw a
- set--and handled a volume--in the stacks of one of our major N.E. libraries:
- either Columbia (Butler) or Yale (Sterling) or Princeton (Firestone); if not
- those, then possibly the U.T.S. library in Manhattan near Columbia, or at
- Cornell's Olin Library. It was many years ago, but the memory of those
- gray folio volumes (not leather-covered) is very vivid. I assume that we're
- talking about the large encyclopedia that followed and expanded upon
- Diderot's.
