Subject: knowledge is power
Dear Colleagues:
>From a review in the TLS for 21 February a quotation to warm your minds:
"Knowledge is said to be power, and it is power in the same sense that wood
is fuel. Wood on fire is fuel. Knowledge on fire is power."
Henry MacKenzie (Scottish novelist, 1745-1831)
