The General Compendium with its list of prime ministers, weights and measures and international paper sizes was always a hoot. On 27 February 2003 the 7th Amendment to the EU Cosmetics Directive (Directive 2003/15/EC) introduced a new legal requirement related to the labelling of 26 specific ingredients if present in a cosmetic product above the following concentration thresholds: 0.001% (10mg/kg) for leave-on products and 0.01% (100mg/kg) for rinse-off products. The volumehas offeredamix of "solid facts and fascinating gems" spanning a breadth of subjects, fromglobal events toNorse mythology,modern cinema tomedical matters and even the latest tax advice, since 1897. It was used in schools andcolleges, offices and libraries, and by students and researchers, newspapers, radio and TV stations.Older editions included such important information as "how to correct printers' proofs", "watch and time regulations on ships" and "marks on continental porcelain". An analysis of the current ingredients list reveals items such as limonene, whose variant called L-limonene is characterised by a " turpentine-like odour" also typical of frankincense. It is an insecticide as well. However, this item was present in the pre-2009 formula, so the perceived change might be explained by different ingredients and by different proportions of ingredients.

That man should show respect to man, irrespective of class, race or creed is fundamental to the humanist attitude to life. Among the fundamental moral principles, he would count those of freedom, justice, tolerance and happiness…the attitude that people can live an honest, meaningful life without following a formal religious creed.

OK, I've never actually used this information but if I ever do get invited to appear on the Antiques Roadshow and someone comes in with some 18th-century German porcelain I won't be left floundering.
