I'm pretty interested in old-timey sexology, could you look up the following? -Transvestite(may also be called Eonism, or Sexo-Aesthetic Inversion) -Homosexual(may also be called Sexual Inversion, or just Inversion) -Magnus Hirschfeld -Perversion

Thanks! Hong Kong as a whole went from 391 sq. miles to 427 sq. miles and New Territories has grown from 356 sq. miles to 368 sq. miles, mostly the Lantau extension that the airport sits on. I can't really find a good comparison for HK Island & Islands and Kowloon Peninsula measurements. The industries have transitioned mostly into finance, all the manufacturing stuff moved north of the border in the decades after this encyclopaedia. Population grew a fuckton though, while my ancestors were still in the hills and valleys in northern HK, population went from 840k to over 7.3 million in the ~80 years between then and now. I would like to request Guam next please!

Pandas were snubbed. Popular Science, July 1920     Scribner’s Magazine, 1927 I love the frank title on that one. Shorty after the encylopædia is published:

The Ku Klux Klan article is the most interesting from that batch. In addition to the blame put on “superstitious blacks”, they have attempted to exonerate the founders of the KKK as good folk who surely would have have approved of undecorous violence. Not mentioning the second Klan is a glaring omission. It had had five million members at its peak. That’s four percent of the entire U.S. population, and of course women, Catholics, blacks, and other minorities could not join. The article on “time” is interesting for having a lot of words and being mostly correct (wrong about mean solar time), but not being very informative unless you already know what it’s talking about. That’s something that I’m sure is easy to do when writing, but they should really try to avoid it because the whole point of an encyclopædia is to give an introduction to a topic.

HONG KONG SLUMLORD posted:I’m going to bet that there are no entries about genitalia but there’s probably a really racist thing printed under the word “negro”. Old TV show 'picket fences' had an episode where the ten year old son got accused of being a huge racist by his school. It turned out he'd sourced information about comparative brain power and whatnot from the 1910 edition of the Britannica. At some point I came across that edition or close enough and boy howdy

Liberalism/Conservativism. I know the term neoliberalism wasn't coined until 1938 by Alexander Rustow so it's probably not there, but I'm curious.
