Insanity[edit]

I would be interested to know more about this topic. What was the nature of Adler's insanity? How important is his dictionary? Greg Barrington 13:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I too would like to see a reference. How sure are we it was the strain of writing the dictionary, as opposed to the hundreds of diseases which can cause insanity? --Jquarry 22:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Link to books?[edit]

It may be possible to find some of the books mentioned online, because they're in the public domain. 82.139.86.37 (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
