Published for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

By Baldwin & Cradock, 1833

The Society of The Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was founded by Lord Brougham, (an advocate of liberal policies, included the abolition of the slave trade), to further the education of the lower and middle classes.

The publication was not originally successful and was wound up in 1848. However the rights were acquired by a succession of publishers who modified the plates with latter editions.
