REVIEWS OF THE PRESS.
"A useful little work."—Athenœum. " Very correct and truthworthy."—Standard.
"A marvel of concise condensation, in which the utmost possible use has been made of abbreviations and signs. There are over twelve hundred pages and twenty-two plates. A great deal of thought and ingenuity has evidently been expended on this compact little volume. The print, though small, is not too small. Altogether, it forms the neatest, smallest, and most useful Encyclopædia we have yet seen."—
Spectator.
"'The Pocket Encyclopædia' is one of the most handy and complete volumes of its kind yet offered to the public. The Encyclopædia contains just that class of
information which is most frequently required; and this is put in the most concise and accurate manner possible."—Morning Post.
"A marvellous amount of information has been crowded into the 600 pages of this book by the adoption of a complete system of signs and contractions, and the
rigorous exclusion of every superfluous word. It is no hasty compilation, but a comprehensive work of reference of a very solid and useful character. The printing is clear and distinct, and as the volume can be readily carried in the pocket, will prove a valuable travelling companion."—Daily Chronicle.
"A wonderful little Encyclopædia .... a perfect marvel of condensation and arrangement. The author says he compiled it, in the first instance, for his own use, but there will be thousands of persons grateful that he has not kept it to himself. It is surprisingly varied in its contents, is most compact and handy in form, is beautifully clear in typography and illustrations, and is low in price. It is not enough to say that we know of nothing to surpass this miniature Encyclopædia—we know of nothing that approaches it."— Glasgow Herald.
"'The Pocket Encyclopædia' merits the highest commendation. It is a thoroughly useful and trustworthy work, and we shall be much surprised if it does not obtain an enormous sale. It is the handiest book of reference ever offered to the public."—
Court Circular.
"For handy reference 'The Pocket Encyclopædia' will be found extremely useful."
—Scotsman.
"This diminutive dictionary will provide the inquirer with brief answers to the innumerable questions arising amid the affairs of ordinary life. The printing and paper are all that can be desired, and the volume is as neat as it is useful, and we can warmly recommend it."—Public Opinion.
"A veritable multum in parvo. "What Bellows's little Pocket Dictionary has done for the French Language—being a treasure of completeness and accuracy—this small book achieves very efficiently for general information on everything. Its store of facts is wonderfully graphic and extensive. Its information is well up to date. This new book is a welcome and cheap addition to the list of works of reference."—Leeds
Mercury.
