9th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica

From the preface in the Index by W. Robertson Smith (18 February 1889):

... The Rev. George M Arthur read every sheet of the book down to 1883, after which date he had the assistance of Mr J. T. Bealby, but continued to take the chief and most responsible share in that minute revision which every line of such a work demands. ... From the year 1878 Mr J. Sutherland Black acted as assistant editor, and from 1883 to the close of the work he was chief of the resident staff. ...

Introduction

This list contains many books that are now in the public domain. As books which are now copyright expired tend to be over 90 years old, although the details of the actions they describe are often not disputed by more recent histories, the opinions that the authors express about such things as the gallantry of their own nation's forces or the characteristics of their national enemies must be treated with caution as more modern histories my have a more balanced view.
