Bag om The Battle Of The Standards

""The Battle of the Standards"" is a book written by John Taylor in 1864 that explores the conflict between ancient and modern standards.

He also suggests that the modern standards are less perfect than the ancient ones, and that they are often based on flawed reasoning and incomplete knowledge. Throughout the book, Taylor provides examples of how the ancient standards have stood the test of time and remained relevant, while the modern standards have often failed to deliver on their promises. Overall, ""The Battle of the Standards"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the ongoing debate between ancient and modern standards, and it offers valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
