General Dictionary, Historical and Critical : ウィキペディア英語版 | General Dictionary, Historical and Critical The ''General Dictionary, Historical and Critical'' was a biographical dictionary published from 1734 to 1741 in London in 10 volumes. It derived from the ''Dictionnaire historique et critique'' of Pierre Bayle, already translated into English in 1710 by Pierre des Maizeaux as ''An Historical and Critical Dictionary'',〔George Watson, ''The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature'': Volume 2; Volumes 1660-1800'' (1971), p. 1969. (Google Books )〕 but expanded the material with many biographies of English figures, this work being assigned largely to Thomas Birch. The other two main editors were John Peter Bernard, whose efforts led to his admission as a Fellow of the Royal Society, and John Lockman, who undertook a fresh translation of Bayle's work. The work has been described as the "first important ancestor" of the ''Dictionary of National Biography''.〔Thomas Birch and the "General Dictionary" (1734-41), James Marshall Osborn, ''Modern Philology'', Vol. 36, No. 1 (Aug., 1938), pp. 25-46. http://www.jstor.org/pss/434476〕 The publishers were Richard Chandler and Caesar Ward.〔''Dictionary of National Biography'', Chandler, Richard (d. 1744), printer and bookseller, by H. R. Tedder. Published 1887.〕 ==Notes==
