Excerpt from The New American Cyclopædia, Vol. 1: A Popular Dictionary of General Knowledge; An, Araguay
In a work primarily intended for popular instruction and entertainment, it is obvious that lengthened and exhaustive treatises on the subjects which are brought forward in its pages would be inappropriate; no attempt, accordingly, has been made to furnish the masters of literature and science with new facts or principles in their peculiar branches of study; but, on the contrary, the Editors have aimed at such selections from the universal treasury of knowledge as will place the cultivators of one department of research in possession of the achievements of other departments, and especially to spread before the great mass of intelligent readers a faithful report of the opinions, systems, discoveries, events, actions, and characters that make up the history of the world.
