      That’s salicin a compound that the body converts to salicylic acid which is the precursor to aspirin.

  Ferns were such a big deal in victorian Britain (and British culture/ empire), it was like their pokemon.

  The encyclopedia itself is Ferns: British and Exotic by E. J. Lowe. It’s in public domain now. A PDF scan is available on the Internet Archive.

  The thing is, back in the day, you couldn’t just look up ferns on the internet, you actually had to go looking for information on ferns specifically, and it’s very likely that after a lot of really annoying visits to various libraries looking through botany textbooks, an author (or a group of authors) decided they were going to collate everything they found about ferns and stick it in one collection.

  So when someone else comes along and goes “I need to know something about a very specific fern”, the librarian can go “You want that 8 volume encyclopedia on ferns over there” because they know that it has every single fern on the planet in there, and you don’t need to spend 8 hours looking through every botany textbook and making the room smell like cheap coffee.

  What I’m saying is it was probably done out of spite, not genuine interest.

    there are two kind of people in PhD programs, autistic, and undiagnosed.

      Nah, you also have abundance of ADHD folks that are hyper focused on the only subject that they care about, or anxiety disorder folks who are worried about not achieving a goal.

    if they did they never would have wrote the article because they’d still be there having a firehose of information blasted at them.

  I love how the last one is bigger, as if he wanted to add more but not enough for another book
