Summary "Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Banks' to 'Bassoon'" by Various is a comprehensive reference work, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a larger encyclopedic series that covers a wide range of topics in arts, sciences, literature, and general information.

The opening of this edition includes entries on several notable figures named Banks, exploring their contributions and significance in their respective fields. Among those discussed are George Linnaeus Banks, a British writer, and Sir Joseph Banks, a prominent naturalist and president of the Royal Society.
