 In 1912, mathematician L. C. Karpinski criticised the eleventh edition for inaccuracies in articles on the history of mathematics, none of which had been written by specialists.English writer and former priest Joseph McCabe claimed in "Lies and Fallacies of the Encyclopædia Britannica" (1947) that "Britannica" was censored under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church after the 11th edition.Authorities ranging from Virginia Woolf to professors criticised the 11th edition for having bourgeois and old-fashioned opinions on art, literature, and social sciences.
