The Nuttall Encyclopædia Being a Concise and Comprehensive Dictionary of General Knowledge By: P. Austin Nuttall
The Nuttall Encyclopædia, written by P. Austin Nuttall, is an impressive work of reference that covers an extensive range of knowledge. With its concise and comprehensive approach, this dictionary serves as an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to expand their general knowledge or delve into various subjects. What distinguishes this encyclopædia from others is its ability to condense information without sacrificing clarity or depth. The author's skillful writing ensures that each entry is both concise and easy to understand, catering to readers of all backgrounds. Additionally, the comprehensive nature of the content ensures no topic is left untouched. Whether it's art, science, history, or literature, readers will find a wealth of information that covers a tremendous breadth of subjects. One aspect that sets this encyclopædia apart is the inclusion of references to notable figures throughout history. These references not only allow readers to delve deeper into a topic but also spark curiosity and encourage further exploration. Furthermore, the dictionary's coverage of lesser-known figures or events enhances its value as a comprehensive source of knowledge. Navigating through this encyclopædia is a breeze. The entries are alphabetically organized, allowing readers to easily find information on a specific subject. Cross-references within the entries further facilitate a seamless reading experience, providing connections between related topics and encouraging readers to explore further. The Nuttall Encyclopædia excels in presenting information in a manner that is concise, yet not lacking in detail. While some may argue for more extensive entries, the brevity ensures that readers can grasp the key points quickly. The comprehensiveness of each entry ensures that, regardless of length, important information is not skipped over. One minor drawback of this encyclopædia, perhaps characteristic of the time of its publication, could be the limited focus on contemporary topics or phenomena. However, this is easily remedied by utilizing other resources for up-to-date information. As a foundational work, the Nuttall Encyclopædia remains an exceptional starting point for broadening one's general knowledge. Overall, P. Austin Nuttall's The Nuttall Encyclopædia brilliantly succeeds as a concise and comprehensive dictionary of general knowledge. Its entries, while brief, pack an incredible amount of information, ensuring readers gain a solid understanding of various subjects.

PREFACE

"The NUTTALL ENCYCLOPÆDIA" is the fruit of a project to provide, in a concise and condensed form, and at a cheap rate, an epitome of the kind of information given in the larger Encyclopædias, such as may prove sufficient for the ordinary requirements, in that particular, of the generality of people, and especially of such as have not the means for purchasing or the leisure for studying the larger.

An Encyclopædia is now recognised to be as indispensable a book of reference as a dictionary; for while the latter explains and defines the vehicle of thought , the former seeks to define the subject matter. Now the rapid increase in the vocabulary of a nation, which makes the possession of an up to date dictionary almost one of the necessaries of life, is evidently due to the vast increase in the number of facts which the language has to describe or interpret; and if it is difficult to keep pace with the growth in the language, it is obviously more difficult to attain even a working knowledge of the array of facts which in this age come before us for discussion...
