Russ Walsh prepared this reform dictionary or field guide with pictures and definitions and source materials.
He calls it “The Seven Blind Mice of Reform.”
There is a word for this sort of antiquarian dictionary but after a Thanksgiving meal, I can’t think of it.
Read and enjoy!

I LOVED this and wish there was some addendum that “explained” each “mouse” to the immense numbers of mouse followers that just don’t get the whole beast! Yesterday one of those innocent followers told me that her grandchild is going to a “good” school. I tried to explain that how “bad” schools are a hoax 🙂

Diane,
Thank you for sharing my post. One of my friends called it a Linnean Classification. Don’t know if that is the term you are looking for. I had to look it up.
All the best,
Russ

So wonderful! Thank you! Charming!
*I’m wondering what the difference between a field guide and a Linnean Classification would be? I will admit that I love field guides and I read them for pleasure. My husband thinks it’s weird. I read field guides for things that don’t even live in my hemisphere.
