		Britannica was an early leader in electronic publishing and new media.
		Britannica is also expanding its line of printed products.

	Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eleventh edition's articles are still of value and interest to modern readers and scholars, especially as a cultural artifact: the British Empire was at its very height, imperialism was largely unchallenged, much of the world was still ruled by monarchs, and the horrors of the modern world wars were still in the future.
		It must be the last encyclopaedia in the tradition of Diderot which assumes that information can be made memorable only when it is slightly coloured by prejudice.
		Robert Collison, in Encyclopaedias: Their History Throughout The Ages (1966), wrote of the eleventh edition that it "was probably the finest edition of the Britannica ever issued, and it ranks with the Italiana and the Espasa as one of the three greatest encyclopaedias in the world.

	Encyclopædia Britannica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Britannica was first published from 1768–71 in three volumes under the title Encyclopædia Britannica, or, A dictionary of arts and sciences, compiled upon a new plan, partly as a conservative reaction to the provocative (but highly successful) French Encyclopédie of Diderot published between 1751-66.
		Beginning with the 15th edition (1974), the Britannica adopted a tripartite structure that is unique among encyclopedias: a Micropædia containing short articles (typically 1-2 paragraphs), a Macropædia containing longer articles (ranging from 2 to over 300 pages in length), and a single Propædia volume that seeks to give a hierarchical outline of all human knowledge.
		Britannica continued by citing several facts that were classified as errors by Nature but were not incorrect (e.g., the spelling of Crotona as Crotone), as well as the fact several of its alleged "incorrections" were merely a different interpretation.

		While the Saint Thomas article that appears in the current printing of the Encyclopaedia Britannica differs slightly from the 1984 article to which you refer in your book, the current article does convey the same basic information.
