He was assisted by Alexander Ramsay and James Thorne.[1] It was sometimes popularly referred to as Knights Encyclopedia.[2]

It is in four divisions, each alphabetical, and very unequal:

  1. Geography (4 volumes and supplement)
  2. Natural history (4 volumes and supplement)
  3. Biography (with 703 lives of living persons; 6 volumes and supplement)
  4. Arts and sciences (8 volumes and supplement)

A supplement in four volumes, one for each section, was published between 1869 and 1873, together with a synoptical index.[3] No further editions of the English Cyclopaedia, however, it served as the basis of the Everyman's Encyclopaedia in 1913.[4]
