Wherever one looks one finds the work of men whose authority is acknowledged the world over, men who not only have full knowledge of their subjects, but also have themselves furthered, by their own original researches, the science or the art of which they treat in the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is easy to find learned writers on all subjects; in this day of widespread high education they are in a pitiful and helpless abundance. It is not hard to find clever and interesting writers. But it is only in the Encyclopedia Britannica that you will and articles at once learned and brilliant.
