Download or read book The encyclopaedic dictionary in the eighteenth century : architecture, arts and crafts. 1. John Harris Lexicon Technicum : incorporating works of Sir Francis Bacon and Sir Henry Wotton written by Terence M. Russell and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume opens with the reproduction of some of the most significant 17th-century writings on architecture; Francis Bacon’s 2 essays ‘Of Building’ and ‘Of Gardens’ (1597-1625) and Sir Henry Wotton’s treatise ‘The Elements of Architecture’ (1623). These writings provide a useful introduction to the manner in which architecture and related subjects were viewed in the following century. The second part of this study details the compilation of John Harris’s Lexicon Technicum. Born in 1666, Harris, a clergyman-scholar, worked largely unaided to produce the first book in English to portray writings on science, technology and allied arts and crafts. The first volume of Lexicon Technicum appeared in 1704 and its use of copious illustrative material was innovative for its time, later influencing Ephraim Chambers’ Cyclopaedia. The second volume of Lexicon Technicum was published as a Supplement to the first in 1710. The c.550 letterpress articles concerned with architectural subjects in Lexicon Technicum are reproduced here, together with the original prefaces. This volume provides invaluable insights into the basis of 18th-century architectural thought, allowing readers to gauge the changes in the representation of architectural ideas in later encyclopaedic dictionaries.
Book Synopsis The Encyclopaedic Dictionary in the Eighteenth Century: A society of gentlemen : Encyclopaedia Britannica by : Terence M. Russell
Download or read book The Encyclopaedic Dictionary in the Eighteenth Century: A society of gentlemen : Encyclopaedia Britannica written by Terence M. Russell and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the encyclopaedic dictionaries examined in this series, only the Encyclopaedia Britannica is still published today, having been in print for over 200 years. The first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica as we know it, was published in Edinburgh in 1771 by Andrew Bell, Colin Macfarquhar and William Smellie, together with 'A Society of Gentlemen'. The original concept for the work was stimulated by the appearance in France between 1751 and 1772 of the Encyclopédie of Diderot and D'Alembert. The Encyclopédie introduced two new concepts which were employed in the Encyclopaedia Britannica: the introduction of 'crafts' in addition to the arts and sciences, and the incorporation of extended articles or Treatises. This volume reproduces over 500 entries on architecture, arts and crafts found in the first edition. These include the full texts of the specialized writings on Architecture, Fortification, Gardening and Perspective.
