The Nuttall Encyclopædia Being a Concise and Comprehensive Dictionary of General Knowledge

"The Nuttall Encyclopædia" by P. Austin Nuttall is a wide-ranging collection of facts and information from the early 1900s. With more than 16,000 entries, this book explains all sorts of topics, like historical events, people's lives, places around the world, books, beliefs, thoughts, faiths, scientific discoveries, and creative works. The editor explains the need for a book with easy-to-understand facts, since there was already so much information out there creating difficulties to obtain the knowledge. The book is designed to help anyone from workers to learners get a good grasp of many subjects with enough information to understand the basics, but not so much they get lost in the details. The opening pages introduce this idea to those who might read it, pointing out how useful it can be to quickly look up a topic and how many different subjects it covers.
