"Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Camorra' to 'Cape Colony'" by Various is a comprehensive reference work that presents a wide array of articles covering diverse subjects across the arts, sciences, and general knowledge. Compiled in the early 20th century, this volume, part of the encyclopaedia's eleventh edition, serves as a resource for readers seeking detailed information on topics ranging from cultural phenomena like the Camorra to geographical entities such as Cape Colony. The entries are particularly rich in historical context and detail, reflecting the knowledge and academic rigor of the time. The opening portion of this encyclopaedia begins with a detailed account of the Camorra, a notorious secret society originating in Naples, known for its criminal undertakings, including robbery and murder. The text traces the historical roots of the Camorra, discussing its evolution from a protective group for prisoners into a powerful and politically influential criminal organization by the 1860s. It elaborates on the society's structure, initiation rituals, and methods of communication among members, painting a vivid picture of its operations and the socio-political conditions that allowed it to thrive. Additionally, the opening section touches on various subsequent topics, indicating the encyclopaedia's format of providing interconnected knowledge across different areas of inquiry.
