The Battle Of The Standards

- The Ancient, Of Four Thousand Years, Against The Modern, Of The Last Fifty Years, The Less Perfect Of The Two (1864)

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. The book argues that the ancient standards, which have been in use for over four thousand years, are superior to the modern standards that have only been in use for the last fifty years. Taylor contends that the ancient standards are less prone to error and more reliable than their modern counterparts. 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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
