Kendall's Pocket Encyclopedia was written by Edward Augustus Kendall and printed in London in 1802 by W. Peacock and Sons,[1] with a second edition in 1811.
The full title is "A Pocket Encyclopedia; Or, Library of General Knowledge, Being a Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Polite Literature".[1] It is made up of six very small volumes in a choice of 12mo, 18mo or 24mo (5 3/8" tall), and retailed at 18s.[2]
The encyclopedia begins with "Abbe, a French word literally meaning an abbot" and ends with "Zootomy, the art or act of dissecting animals or living creatures."[3]
A new edition of the Pocket Encyclopedia was compiled by minister and writer Jeremiah Joyce, and published as a "corrected and enlarged" edition in 1811. The new edition was published in four thicker 12mo volumes, and sold for £1 4s.[2]
Legacyedit
An 1803 American version, Harris' Minor Encyclopedia, was edited and enlarged by the Rev. Thaddeus Mason Harris.
A German version, Brockhaus' Taschen-Encyklopädie (Pocket Encyclopedia), was published between 1816 and 1820.[4]
