"Merchant adventurers had searched widely about in olden days, and not always been scrupulous about what they sold." (p. 243)
That summarizes the Polesotechnic League and, in particular, "A Little Knowledge."
"...strange things could develop...over centuries, unbeknownst to worlds beyond." (ibid.)
Mankind has returned to its old condition of a world bounded by the unknown from which anything can come.
"...sneer of cold command..." (p. 244) is another quotation from Shelley.

Kaor, Paul!
"A Little Knowledge"? I took my copy of THE EARTHBOOK OF STORMGATE to read while in Florida, and reread that story. A pity we never see Trillia again in the Technic series!
Ad astra and Happy New Year! Sean
