Reason - Comments

From LoveToKnow 1911

Two remarks:

1) Besides a lot of figures which have obviously not got the right and understandable form by your text recognition program the terms (words) printed in the original "Encyclopedia Britannica" with Greek letters are not edited in the right manner - either using the Greek letters or symbols, too, or transcribing them with latin letters (e. g. "nous" and "logos").

2) It is perhaps a footnote belonging to this information article "Reason" which has been generated erroneously between the text of the following article "Reaumur". Here the "footnote" of "Reason" in the context of "Reaumur":

... His friends often called him the 1 The Schoolmen's distinction of ratio cognoscendi (a reason for acknowledging a fact) and ratio essendi (a reason for the existence of this fact) Pliny of the 18th century.

Sincerely yours
