Excerpt from The Pocket Cyclopaedia, or Epitome of Universal Knowledge: Designed for Senior Scholars in Schools, and for Young Persons in General, Containing Multifarious and Useful Information on Numerous Subjects Some of the words in a dictionary they may, indeed, never have occasion to know; and for others a short explanation is sutiicienti but there are, notwithstanding, many which require more satisfactory illustration. These then, the reader will perceive, constitute many of the subjects Of the present Volume: they Obtrude hourly on our notice, and are either Objects Of utility or Of laudable curiosity. Care has been taken to introduce nothing that may Offend cacy; nor any thing which may tend to warp the political or religious principles in which the young Reader may be brought up for the design Of such a Work should be not to bias, but inform; not to serve the narrow views Of party, but the more enlarged purposes Of general knowledge. Of the general execution Of the present Edition of the Work, it does not become the Author to speak; yet, he may be permitted to Observe that the Reader will readily perceive uniformity and correct design throughout; and that more originality, combined with conciseness, will be found in many articles, than is generally met with in works'of a Similar nature. An acquaintance too with What may be called viva voce modern science, the science of the Lecture Room, and Of Literary Societies, has imparted a feature to the Work which will not be mistaken nothing has been stated which has not been well Examined, revised, considered, and discussed.

Nineteenth-century England witnessed an unprecedented increase in the number of publications and institutions devoted to the creation and the dissemination of knowledge: encyclopedias, scientific periodicals, instruction manuals, scientific societies, children’s literature, mechanics’ institutes, museums of natural history, and lending libraries. In Useful Knowledge Alan Rauch presents a social, cultural, and literary history of this new knowledge industry and traces its relationships within nineteenth-century literature, ending with its eventual confrontation with Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species. Rauch discusses both the influence and the ideology of knowledge in terms of how it affected nineteenth-century anxieties about moral responsibility and religious beliefs. Drawing on a wide array of literary, scientific, and popular works of the period, the book focusses on the growing importance of scientific knowledge and its impact on Victorian culture. From discussions of Jane Webb Loudon’s The Mummy! and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, to Charlotte Brontë’s The Professor, Charles Kingsley’s Alton Locke, and George Eliot’s Mill on the Floss, Rauch paints a fascinating picture of nineteenth-century culture and addresses issues related to the proliferation of knowledge and the moral issues of this time period. Useful Knowledge touches on social and cultural anxieties that offer both historical and contemporary insights on our ongoing preoccupation with knowledge. Useful Knowledge will appeal to readers interested in nineteenth century history, literature, culture, the mediation of knowledge, and the history of science.
