This led me to formulate Wilson's 22nd Law: 'Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only look in one encyclopedia.'” FirstsLooksHandsLawUsedNovelWifeFeetResearchToolsHistoricalEightMy WifeInstanceOnlineBookstoresWilsonEncyclopediaSecond HandCertitudeHistorical NovelsBastille Author:Robert Anton Wilson
