""Useful Knowledge" can stand as a model of informed and scrupulous historicism. The breadth of Rauch's acquaintance with subliterary and paraliterary texts is truly impressive as he clearly lays out what was at stake for nineteenth-century intellectuals and usefully relates their preoccupations with those that concern us now, as we experience another information revolution."--Harriet Ritvo, author of "The Platypus and the Mermaid, and Other Figments of the Classifying Imagination "
