A New Catalogue of Vulgar Errors
Stephen Fovargue
People believed a surprising number of wrong things in 1767, and Stephen Fovargue catalogued them. His new catalogue of vulgar errors takes popular certainties, from natural history to everyday practice, and tests them against sense and evidence, one numbered error at a time. An eighteenth century ancestor of every myth busting list. Count how many you still believe.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
