Excellent occaisional reading

This book is a condensed selection of choice passages from the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which was peppered with absurd descriptions of social mores and sweeping generalizations about national characters. It's the acme of the imperialist mindset, distilled for occaisional reading; perfect for a professor's bathroom.
