Gracias Mª Teresa; estaba pensando justo eso, en el uso del singular o el plural, pero no acabo de estar segura, porque lo he visto de las dos maneras... Gramaticalmente debería ser HIS, estoy contigo al cien por cien.

many men, many minds
“Many men, many minds,” runs the proverb. “Many nations, many ships,” is almost equally true. A nation may show its individuality in the fashion of its marine architecture as much as in any other direction—as, for instance, in its national dress, dwelling-houses, food, amusements; and an ethnologist in studying a people’s characteristics may do wisely not to overlook its ships and boats.
