Description

The Encyclopaedia Britannica was the first English-language compendium to be called an encyclopaedia.

It was compiled on a completely new plan, alphabetically arranged, combining easy reference to individual items, terms and minor topics, pioneering a new way to organize and disseminate learning.

This milestone in the history of encyclopaedia-making was first issued in one hundred parts in less than three years.
