Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Husband' to 'Hydrolysis'" by Various is a comprehensive reference work written in the early 20th century. This edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica serves as a dictionary of arts, sciences, literature, and general information, encompassing a wide range of topics from relationships and legal definitions to scientific principles. The content is structured as a series of individual articles that delve into specific subjects, with an emphasis on clarity and factual detail. The beginning of this volume introduces several entries, starting with an exploration of the term "husband" and its historical and legal implications, particularly in relation to marriage. It describes the evolution of the word from Old English origins and its connections to concepts of household management and agricultural practices. A subsequent article discusses the legal relationship between husband and wife, highlighting the marital rights and obligations stemming from different legal traditions, including Roman and English law. The entries continue with various topics, including notables like Huss, emphasizing the depth and breadth of knowledge provided in this encyclopaedia. This portion sets the stage for a wider exploration of societal, cultural, and scientific themes relevant to the period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
