Synopsis
Excerpt from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia, Vol. 6 of 10: A Work of Universal Reference in All Departments of Knowledge, With a New Atlas of the World
The special features of each of these several parts of the book are described in the Prefaces which will be found in the first, ninth, and tenth volumes. Lt need only be said that the definitions of the common words of the language are for the most part stated encyclopedically, with a vast amount of technical, historical, and practical information in addition to an unrivaled wealth of purely philological material; that the same encyclopedic method is applied to proper names - names of persons, places, characters in fiction, books - in short, of everything to which a name is given; and that in the Atlas geographical names, and much besides, are exhibited with a completeness and serviceableness seldom equaled. Of The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia as a whole, therefore, it may be said that it is in its own field the most complete presentation of human knowledge scientific, historical, and practical that exists.
Moreover, the method of distributing this encyclopedic material under a large number of headings, which has been followed throughout, makes each item of this great store of information far more acces sible than in works in which a different system is adopted.
