I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many dictionaries and encyclopedias were published in the decade preceding the French Revolution?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the later half of the 18th century, the number of dictionaries and encyclopedias published by decade increased from 63 between 1760 and 1769 to approximately 148 in the decade proceeding the French Revolution (1780–1789).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
