The New American Cyclopedia was a 16-volume encyclopedia created and published by D. Appleton & Company of New York over the years 1857 to 1866.[1] Its primary editors were George Ripley and Charles A. Dana.[1]
Overview
The New American Cyclopedia was a general encyclopedia with a special focus on subjects related to the United States. As it was created over the years spanning the American Civil War, the focus and tone of articles could change drastically; for example, Jefferson Davis, the future president of the Confederate States of America, was treated at length as a United States Army soldier and US government politician.[1]
A notable contributor was Karl Marx, then a European correspondent for the New York Tribune, who, under the suggestion of the editors, submitted articles on military affairs (for which he may have collaborated with Friedrich Engels).[2] He also wrote a highly unsympathetic biographical article on Simon Bolivar.[2][3]
The New American Cyclopedia was revised and republished as the American Cyclopedia in 1873.[4]
Annual yearbook
There was also an associated yearbook, Appletons' Annual cyclopaedia and register of important events of the year, from 1861 to 1875 and on to 1901. See Annual Cyclopedia.[5]
