'Among the many article son history, there is a minor masterpiece on co-regencies by William Murnane' -John Ray, TLS 'A particularly good feature of the Encyclopedia is the coverage given to the language.... The editors of the Encyclopedia have done an impressive job, commissioning articles from Friedrich Junge, Janet H. Johnson and John Tait. Work of this stature will do much to rehabilitate this aspect of the subject.' -John Ray, TLS
