*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A workshop, a laboratory, a library: all in one volume. In this American edition of a landmark British encyclopedia, William Nicholson gathers the working knowledge that powered a changing world. Knowledge, made practical and elegant. Volume IV stands as a complete encyclopedia volume in miniature: an arts and sciences dictionary shaped by the encyclopaedia britannica style, where curiosity meets method. Expect crisp natural philosophy entries alongside mechanical arts technology, with chemistry and physics articles that reflect the period's drive to measure, test, and build. Read it straight through for the pleasure of ordered thought, or dip in for the thrill of discovery; either way, this antique reference volume rewards the browser as much as the specialist. It is also a revealing research library reference, preserving the vocabulary and assumptions of the enlightenment encyclopedia tradition. Historically, it captures the confidence and reach of early 19th century learning, and the story of early American printing as knowledge crossed the Atlantic and took new root. For collectors, it belongs on any serious antiquarian book collection: a window into how science, craft, and daily life were explained before modern disciplines hardened into separate fields. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
