First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Duodecimo; 222 pages, cloth, small break in front hinge Wright was a critic, an editor, a philosopher and more before he became better-known as a writer of detective fiction, with Philo Vance. This work is Wright's evisceration of the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. " I refer to the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA which, by a colossal campaign of flamboyant advertising, has been scattered broadcast over every state in the union. No more vicious and dangerous educational influence on America can readily be conceived than the articles in this encyclopaedia. They distort the truth and disseminate false standards." - p. 8. The 12th and final chapter lists, by category, 200 persons whose biographies do not appear in the EB. He names Luther Burbank, Wilbur & Orville Wright, Freud & Jung, and even Toulouse-Lautrec for their absences.
