More information

  Rees's Cyclopædia , or The New Cyclopaedia, or, Universal Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences was edited by Revd. Abraham Rees. (1743-1825). It appeared in parts between January 1802 and August 1820, and ran to 39 volumes of text, 5 volumes of plates, and an atlas. It contains around 39 million words, and more than 500 of the articles are of monograph length. An American edition, with 42 volumes of text and 6 of plates was published by Samuel Bradford of Philadelphia between 1806-1822, with additional American material.

Rees's Cyclopædia is important today for the information it contains, particularly, about the science and technology of the period.
