A celebrated encyclopaedia, encompassing all of the recognised branches of human knowledge, comprising the trivium, quadrivium, and the natural and moral sciences. It is well illustrated and was very popular; sixteen editions were printed in one hundred years. This is the true second edition, revised and enlarged by the author, which is not to be confused with the unauthorised edition printed in the same year by Grninger.
