A Bible from the Year 1700

Today, I came upon a very interesting book in the University of Calgary's special collections. I'll add another point: the possibility that we've returned to a time when only elites had access to knowledge--not because of linguistic issues, but because the content and training in public schools are generally inadequate in preparing future voters to understand modern-day economic and political complexity. Americans generally rely on universities to repair inadequacies at the secondary/high school level, but with college costs rising rapidly, such a system cements rather than ameliorates elitism.
