By 1600, England produced about 400 different publications a year - ten times more than in the previous century. They say that the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was the last person who read all the books. However, this is impossible, since he died in 1834, when there were already millions of books. But very curious what people of that time really believed that it was possible to read everything. Now this will not convince anyone.
