The English Cyclopaedia: A new dictionary of universal knowledge (London, 1854–1862, 4to, 23 vols., 12,117 pages; supplements, 1869–1873, 4 vols., 2858 pages), was published by Charles Knight, based on the Penny Cyclopaedia, of which he had the copyright. He was assisted by Alexander Ramsay and James Thorne.[1] It was sometimes popularly referred to as Knights Encyclopedia.[2]
It is in four divisions, each alphabetical, and very unequal:
- Geography (4 volumes and supplement)
- Natural history (4 volumes and supplement)
- Biography (with 703 lives of living persons; 6 volumes and supplement)
- Arts and sciences (8 volumes and supplement)
A supplement in four volumes, one for each section, was published between 1869 and 1873, together with a synoptical index.[3] No further editions of the English Cyclopaedia, however, it served as the basis of the Everyman's Encyclopaedia in 1913.[4]
