1980FB735 (1 to 3) /5A<p>Brown calf binding black title plates with gilt banding and titles. A near authentic well-produced reproduction</p><p>The <strong><em>Encyclopædia Britannica</em></strong> Latin for "British Encyclopaedia" is a general knowledge English-language encyclopaedia which is now published exclusively as an online encyclopaedia. It was formerly published by Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. and other publishers for previous editions. It was written by about 100 full-time editors and more than 4000 contributors. The 2010 version of the 15th edition which spans 32 volumes and 32640 pages was the last printed edition. The <em>Britannica</em> was the longest running in-print encyclopaedia in the English language being printed for 244 years. It was first published between 1768 and 1771 in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh as three volumes. This first edition is available in facsimile. The encyclopaedia grew in size: the second edition was 10 volumes and by its fourth edition 1801–1810 it had expanded to 20 volumes. Its rising stature as a scholarly work helped recruit eminent contributors and the 9th 1875–1889 and 11th editions 1911 are landmark encyclopaedias for scholarship and literary style. Starting with the 11th edition and following its acquisition by an American firm the <em>Britannica</em> shortened and simplified articles to broaden its appeal to the North American market. In 1933 the <em>Britannica</em> became the first encyclopaedia to adopt "continuous revision" in which the encyclopaedia is continually reprinted with every article updated on a schedule. In March 2012 Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. announced it would no longer publish printed editions and would focus instead on the online version. The 15th edition has a three-part structure: a 12-volume <em>Micropædia</em> of short articles generally fewer than 750 words a 17-volume <em>Macropædia</em> of long articles two to 310 pages and a single <em>Propædia</em> volume to give a hierarchical outline of knowledge. The <em>Micropædia</em> was meant for quick fact-checking and as a guide to the <em>Macropædia</em>; readers are advised to study the <em>Propædia</em> outline to understand a subject's context and to find more detailed articles. Over 70 years the size of the <em>Britannica</em> has remained steady with about 40 million words on half a million topics. Though published in the United States since 1901 the <em>Britannica</em> has for the most part maintained British English spelling.</p> A Bell. C Macfarquhar.
