Essential reading for curious minds. Volume XIII (Harmony to Hurstmonceaux) of The Encyclopaedia Britannica is an encyclopaedia of arts and sciences, a nineteenth-century encyclopaedia that distils the era's appetite for classification and explanation into lucid, authoritative entries. This Victorian reference book functions as an illustrated knowledge compendium and a general information anthology: biographical sketches, thematic essays and technical summaries stand alongside surveys of history and literature, giving readers both a history and literature guide and a scientific discoveries overview within a single, cohesive work. Arranged alphabetically and designed for reference, its entries are cross-referenced to facilitate focused study or serendipitous browsing. The editorial approach favours concise, evidence-based summary and clear signposting, so the volume reads well for casual exploration while also serving as a rigorous academic research resource and a dependable world knowledge collection. As a British historical reference it has ongoing literary and historical significance: the volume records the terms, debates and source-material that shaped disciplines, and thereby offers a primary window into the intellectual life of its age. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Collectors of classic literature and reference, librarians replenishing historical stacks, scholars tracing the arc of ideas, and parents or tutors assembling a homeschool curriculum supplement find this volume valuable; it is equally a classic educational compendium for private shelves and public collections. It is a primary tool for historians of ideas and for anyone curious about how knowledge was organised and taught in the nineteenth century. Its presence on a shelf signals serious engagement with the past; as both an academic research resource and a readable world knowledge collection it rewards careful study and casual perusal alike. Consulted as a comparative resource for changing scientific understanding or enjoyed for the cadence of nineteenth-century voices, it remains a vital strand in any world knowledge collection and a worthy centrepiece for classic-literature collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.96 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50359562764525,"sku":"9789354307546","price":110.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/LjMuzLbv-B9789354307546.webp?v=1785365472","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-encyclopaedia-britannica-a-dictionary-of-arts-sciences-literature-and-general-information-volume-xiii-harmony-to-hurstmonceaux-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
