...punch when it comes to brute-force digitization of old works. Libraries, including our own, which have been working on this problem for the better part of the past decade, face similar financial woes.The importance of digitization goes well beyond the mere benefits of secure storage and widespread distribution networks, though even on their own, these things will dramatically alter our interaction with content.

There was only some social disapproval. In fact, opium, in the form of laudanum, was in widespread use, and cough mixtures including a little of it could be bought over the counter in England as late as the 1950s.The Chinese government’s own attitude seemed ambivalent. Even in the later 1830s, the emperor’s advisers were divided between enforcing prohibition and legalizing, regulating, and taxing...
