Andrew Bell, primary founder of Encyclopedia Britannica, Holyrood House Lodge 44 of Edinburgh Scotland, was a diminutive man who stood only 4 foot 6 inches tall. Despite his small stature, the proud Bell always rode the tallest horse he could get. He mounted and dismounted his horse using a ladder, many times to the cheers of onlookers. His features included an enormous nose which occasionally drew stares. Brother Bell fashioned an even larger paper mache nose, which he could affix over his already large beak and when he caught people gawking, he would put the fake nose on and gawk back giving them the graphic message that it's not polite to stare.
