The ''New International Encyclopedia'' was an American encyclopedia first published in 1902 by Dodd, Mead and Company.〔New International Encyclopedia〕 It descended from the ''International Cyclopaedia'' (1884) and was updated in 1906, 1914 and 1926. ==History== The ''New International Encyclopedia'' was the successor of the ''International Cyclopaedia'' (1884). Initially, the ''International Cyclopaedia'' was largely a reprint of Alden's ''Library of Universal Knowledge'', which was a reprint of the British ''Chambers's Encyclopaedia'' with American additions (including many biographical entries for Americans). The ''local Cyclopaedia'' was much improved by editors Harry Thurston Peck and Selim Peabody. The title was changed to ''New International Encyclopedia'' in 1902, with editors Harry Thurston Peck, Daniel Coit Gilman, and Frank Moore Colby. In 1906 the ''New International Encyclopedia'' was expanded from 17 volumes to 20. The 2nd edition appeared in 1914 in 24 volumes, set up from new type and thoroughly revised. It was very strong in biography.〔"Encyclopedias," in ''The Encyclopedia Americana,'' (1988) Volume 10, Page 333〕 The 1926 material was printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by The University Press. Boston Bookbinding Company of Cambridge produced the covers. Thirteen books enclosing twenty-three volumes comprise the encyclopedia, which includes a supplement after Volume 23. Each book contains about 1600 pages.〔Bessie Graham, ''Bookman's manual'' (1928) - Page 28〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New International Encyclopedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
