Chambers - 2 v. Cyclopaedia 1741

Author:Ephraim Chambers
Title:Cyclopaedia: or, an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, etc.
Year:1741

Condition/Details:Complete in two volumes, this massive and very early work is a wonderful general encyclopedia, printed in London. The title page continues: "Containing an explication of the terms, and an account of the things signified thereby in the several arts, both liberal and mechanical, and the several sciences, human and divine … The whole intended as a course of antient and modern learning, extracted from the best authors, dictionaries, journals, memoirs, transactions, ephemerides, &c., in several languages." The volumes include several beautiful fold-out engravings to illustrate some of the entries. This is the fourth edition of Chambers' Cyclopaedia; another complete set this early would be very difficult to come by. The volumes are bound in full leather with gilt embellishments to the spines. The front board of vol. II is detached, with the rear board of vol. II and the front board of vol. I shaken. The pages are complete, solidly bound, and very legible.
