About this book
Common abbreviations lead into accounts of wind harps, tree planting and undersea cables in Nathaniel C. Fowler's collection of general knowledge. Published in 1913, the volume presents more than a thousand facts in language intended for ordinary readers. Academic initials, inventions, customs, geography and mathematics all appear in its opening pages. Fowler's preface stresses clear expression, and an index provides a way to find individual subjects within this wide range of material.
Later pages move through sailors' watches, advice on buying soap, planetary measurements and Civil War songs. Household concerns share the page with astronomical tables and historical information, giving the book the character of a reference shelf compressed into one volume. Readers today can examine how a writer of the period selected and explained useful knowledge. Its statistics, health guidance and racial generalizations also make it a historical document whose claims need careful judgment.
