Reading these very old papers is always quite entertaining: you can feel that they use words like e.g. "routine", or "procedure" not yet as technical terms but as ordinary (if infrequently-used) English words.

Like the einstein papers of 1905, or Shannon's paper on entropy or codds paper on relational databases. For me it was way more understandable than any secondary literature I read before.
