Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Fox, George' to 'France'" by Various is a reference work in the form of an encyclopaedia produced in the early 20th century. This edition provides a comprehensive collection of articles covering a wide range of subjects, notably including entries on key historical figures, concepts, and geographical locations from A to F in the alphabetical organization of knowledge. The entries included span both significant figures in history and culture, along with subjects in arts, sciences, and various domains of human knowledge. The opening portion of this encyclopaedia features a range of articles starting with "Fox, George," the founder of the Quakers, detailing his life and spiritual journey, along with significant figures such as Richard Fox, a historical bishop and statesman. The entries provide insights into their contributions, the socio-political contexts they navigated, and the legacy they left behind, reflecting the encyclopaedia’s aim to weave together biographical accounts with overarching historical narratives.
