Lexicon Technicum, Or, An Universal English Dictionary Of Arts And Sciences: Explaining Not Only the Terms of Art But the Arts Themselves. London: Printed for Dan. Brown [and 9 others], 1704-1710. 2 Vols. Octavo (7" x 9"). Illustrated, 4 folding plates; 1 portrait. 1820 pp. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. and Martino Publishing, 2006. ISBN-13: 9781584774181; ISBN-10: 1584774185. Hardcover. New. $150. * This work holds the distinction of being the first general encyclopedia to emphasize science. Influential, it served as a model for Ephraim Chambers' Cyclopaedia and was named by Denis Diderot in his Prospectus of 1750 as a source for the great Encyclopedie. Harris lived during one of the most important periods of scientific advancement. An unoriginal thinker himself, he was able to recognize originality in others and draw on their works in his Lexicon. Because he relied mostly on the researches of his able contemporaries in the sciences and because he consciously sought to describe modern advances, Harris managed to create the first encyclopedia that was, in general, "up to date, comprehensive, and detailed on the subject of science.": Cited in L.E. Bradshaw in Frank Kafker, Notable Encyclopedias (Oxford 1981).

Description:
London: Dan. Brown et al, 1708. Second Edition. Leatherbound. Very Good. Unpaginated. Engraved portrait frontispiece and hundreds of illustrations, full page and within text. Two pull-out diagrams. Full leather with raised bands and blind impressing. Rebacked with new spine label. Label residue on front pastedown. Small hole in portrait frontispiece. Ink inscription top of title page and paper repair on rear. Pages darkened, minor foxing, a few thumb marks and dampness stains. A few roughened edges. A tear in first fold-out diagram and chip from second diagram. Rear endpaper has red stains. First published in 1704, "Lexicon Technicum" was in many respects the first alphabetical encyclopedia written in English. Although the emphasis was on mathematical subjects, its contents go beyond what would be called science or technology today, in conformity with the broad 18th-century understanding of the terms "arts" and "science." It includes entries on the humanities and fine arts, notably law, commerce,…
