Well I suppose if the story itself is good enough we could look past that as a sign of the times. I’ve heard (but never read, I’ve learned that it’s never EVER a good idea to read ANYTHING when involved in this particular setting) that Lovecraft’s books have a way of making people of different races sound as disturbing as his great old ones….

Though why a 1911 edition of Britannica? Does anybody here have any ideas?
