About this Edition

"The Nuttall Encyclopædia" by P. Austin Nuttall is a concise encyclopedia first published in 1900. Named for Dr. Peter Austin Nuttall, this reference work contains over 16,000 brief articles covering history, biography, geography, literature, philosophy, religion, science, and art. The entries are notably short and often reflect a distinct British perspective on world events. While it includes fictional characters from Dickens, it curiously lacks entries for common subjects like fruit, revealing the editor's selective worldview.
