If you like encyclopedias try to find the 1913 edition of the EB. It was considered the gold standard in scholarship for decades, and for historical entries, probably still should be. Just think, all that pre-PC erudition...a record fit for an Empire!

I doubt I will ever run across a 1913 copy but even the 1960’s era one is surprisingly non PC.

It is accessible free on line and for pre-PC revisionist facts, it is unbeatable.

If you like encyclopedias try to find the 1913 edition of the EB I think you mean the 1911-Eleventh ed. (The Twelvth didn't come out for another 10 years)
It's on line http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/
