Bibliotheca Britannica

The "Bibliotheca Britannica" is one of the most remarkable examples of bibliographical scholarship in the English language. Published in 1824, it is estimated to include more than 200,000 books, pamphlets and periodicals printed from 1450 to the early ninteenth century. The "Bibliotheca" is divided into four large format volumes, the first two containing an alphabetical listing of over 40,000 authors and their biographical details; volumes three and four provide an encyclopedic index to volumes one and two. Subjects, authors, and titles are fully cross-referenced and the works are listed within 30,000 subject areas in order of publication. Routledge is pleased to make this important source of information more widely available.
