This Biographical Dictionary contains, in the most compact form possible, and within a compass of some 700 or 800 pages, an account of the Lives of Notable and Eminent Men and Women in all epochs. Carefully compiled in its original edition, this new issue has had conscientious revision, and will show that many errors, inseparable from first compilations, have been corrected, and that a large number of new names have been added. The Portraits, printed on tinted paper, are faithfully reproduced from original or authoritative sources. These Engravings form a totally new feature in Beeton’s Biographical Dictionary, none having appeared in the First Edition.
