Since 1768, the Encyclopedia Britannica has set the standard for general reference works. Four thousand contributors—including 110 Nobel Prize winners and five US presidents—have written on half a million topics. The 32 volumes cover geography, biography, biology, medicine, literature, religion, philosophy, art, law, and more. For over 240 years, Encyclopedia Britannica has achieved its goals of serving as an excellent reference book and providing educational materials—because of this, it has remained one of the most well-respected and scholarly English encyclopedias.
The 11th edition was recognized particularly for its scholarship and quality of writing, and it is still praised for its excellence and landmark literary style. It included more articles than any previous edition, but kept them simple and concise. The three New Volumes, added in 1922, provided perspectives on events before, during, and after World War I. As a general reference text or a work of history, the Encyclopedia Britannica remains highly valuable for people of all ages, in all fields.
