A Dictionary of General Knowledge: Or, an Explanation of Words and Things Connected With All the Arts and Sciences; Illustrated With Numerous Wood Cuts (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is structured as a dictionary of knowledge and contains entries on everything from Latin phrases and historical essays to zoological classifications. Along with detailed explanations, many entries are accompanied by engravings. The author's aim was to create a work of immediate and practical use for immediate information on a wide range of topics, and it was updated and expanded in its American edition to include material more relevant to the United States. While the original publication was intended for an English audience and has some local references of little interest to American readers, these have been excised and replaced with details on the United States. A valuable addition to any home library, this book provides the reader with definitions of technical terms across the arts and sciences, along with historical and practical knowledge that would have been otherwise difficult to obtain.
