THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF BIOGRAPHY.
This Cyclopædia of Biography may, without presumption, be stated to be the best Biographical Dictionary extant; unequalled in any language for the universality of its range, its fullness, accuracy, and completeness. It possesses the new and important feature of giving notices of living persons, English and foreign, of contemporary celebrity. No work of a similar nature approaches the English Cyclopædia of Biography in cheapness.
In Four Volumes, price 2l. 2s., or bound in 2 Vols., half-morocco, 2l. 10s.,
THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF GEOGRAPHY.
The fullness and accuracy of its information renders the Cyclopædia of Geography a necessary manual for every library and newsroom; not presenting a dry catalogue of names and places, but furnishing ample and interesting details of the History, Statistics, and physical features of every country in the world, according to the most recent discoveries and investigations.

THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF NATURAL HISTORY.
This Cyclopædia, embracing the most interesting details of Natural History, presented in the most attractive form of scientific explanation, and illustrated with many hundreds of beautiful wood-engravings, will furnish a most desirable addition to every library. To the Medical Student the work is indispensable.
THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Is now in course of publication, in Monthly Parts, price 2s. 6d. each.—This Cyclopædia will be completed in Eight Volumes. Of these, Vols. I., II., III., IV., and V. are published, price 12s. each: Vol. VI. will be published in December: Vols. VII. and VIII. in 1861.
These Works, perhaps forming the most valuable and comprehensive Works of Reference in the language, published as a whole under the title of "The English Cyclopædia," are founded upon the valuable Copyright of the Penny Cyclopædia, which has always remained in the hands of Mr. Knight. The elaborate revisions, with the large additions, of the present work, have involved a new outlay for literary labour of not less than Seven Thousand Pounds, making the cost of literary production alone not far short of Fifty Thousand Pounds.
