| Summary | "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Luray Cavern' to 'Mackinac Island'" is an informative reference work written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a larger encyclopaedia that covers a wide range of topics in arts, sciences, literature, and general information. It likely contains articles that provide detailed descriptions of various subjects, each based on historical, geographical, scientific, or cultural significance. The opening of this volume begins with an article about Luray Cavern in Virginia, detailing its geological features, the history of its discovery, and the stunning natural formations within it. The text describes the cavern's impressive stalactites and stalagmites, highlighting specific formations such as the Empress Column and the Cascades. Various notable characteristics of the cavern, including its dimensions, the pure water basins, and the unique fauna that inhabit the space, are also discussed. This sets a factual and descriptive tone that is expected in an encyclopaedic entry, aiming to inform readers about this natural wonder and its significance in addition to providing insights into other topics covered in the volume.
