a rewrite would be nice....very old-fashioned...and strange sentences...

" there he [...] shot [...] himself for years." what the hell?  ;)

You should do it yourself then. Sure you can do better than the very old-fashioned and strange Encyclopaedia Britannica sentences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.60.29 (talk) 23:27, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


It's written in a very dated style and is just plain bad. Very patronizing tone. Not encylopedic. I made a few changes but not up to doing whole thing at present. Would need to research. A few words about his writings and posthumous reputation would be useful. Mballen (talk) 05:36, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
