Without any furhter ado, we must acknowledge the copyright that Encyclopedia Brittanica has on this "List" as well as the Syntopicon itself. Therefore, we state that this list itself is copyrighted, and we invoke fair use in order to post this here. This "fair use" is used here for educational purposes, and since their exquisite example shines through as a very good "Great Books" list, we have simply endeavored to copy their extended bibliography in "Appendix I: Bibliography of Additional Readings." It may be noted that this is simply a "fan(atic) project" to try and locate the books in said appendix, on the Internet if the books are in the public domain, and if the books are not in the public domain, where they are either available, or what libraries they are in, so that they can be scanned when they do happen to enter the public domain.
