Book Overview

A landmark of Victorian era knowledge, Encyclopaedia Metropolitana; Or, Universal Dictionary Of Knowledge stands as a testament to intellectual ambition. Conceived by the visionary Samual Taylor Coleridge and brought to life by Edward Smedley, this first volume offers a gateway to universal understanding. It is more than a reference work. It is a philosophical dictionary and a scholarly resource, blending the clarity of alphabetical arrangement with the depth of a logical, thematic structure.

The result is a unique academic reference tool that shaped how knowledge was organised and shared in the nineteenth century.

For those seeking a universal knowledge collection or a coleridge-inspired work of lasting significance, this is a cultural treasure restored for the modern age.
