The Nuttall Encyclopædia

The Nuttall Encyclopædia is named for Dr. Peter Austin Nuttall (d. 1869), whose works, such as Standard Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language were eventually acquired by Frederick Warne, and would be published for decades to come. The title page proclaims this encyclopedia to be a concise and comprehensive dictionary of general knowledge consisting of over 16, 000 terse and original articles on nearly all subjects discussed in larger encyclopædias, and specially dealing with such as come under the categories of history, biography, geography, literature, philosophy, religion, science, and art.
