"The Nuttall Encyclopædia" by P. Austin Nuttall is a concise and comprehensive dictionary of general knowledge, likely written in the early 20th century. This encyclopedic work comprises over 16,000 articles covering a wide array of subjects including history, biography, geography, literature, philosophy, religion, science, and art, making it a valuable reference for those seeking succinct information on diverse topics. At the start of the text, the editor outlines the purpose of the encyclopedia, emphasizing the need for accessible knowledge in an era of information overload. He articulates the challenges faced by readers in grasping complex subjects due to the rapid increase in factual information. The preface also indicates that the encyclopedia aims to meet the needs of a broad audience—ranging from busy professionals to students—by providing just enough detail to facilitate a general understanding without overwhelming them. The beginning serves as an invitation to potential readers, highlighting the encyclopedia's value for quick reference and the diversity of topics covered.
