'''''The New International Encyclopedia''''' was an American encyclopedia first published in 1902 by [[Dodd, Mead & Co.]]. It descended from the ''International Cyclopaedia'' (1884) and was updated in 1906, 1914 and 1926.


== History ==
The [[1926]] output 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.

''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 itself was a reprint of the British ''[[Chambers's Encyclopaedia]]''. The title was changed to ''The New International Encyclopedia'' in 1902, with editors [[Harry Thurston Peck]], [[Daniel Coit Gilman]] and [[Frank Moore Colby]].{{sfn|Walsh|1968|p=120}}
A great deal of biographic material is recorded in the New International Encyclopedia. The supplement includes a short paragraph on the activities of a [[Bavarian]] named [[Adolf Hitler]] from 1920-24. Many of the names which are used to describe the scientific identities of plants and animals are now obsolete.


The encyclopedia was popular and reprints were made in 1904, 1905, 1907 (corrected and expanded to 20 volumes), 1909 and 1911. The 2nd edition appeared from 1914 to 1917 in 24 volumes. With Peck and Gilman deceased, Colby was joined by a new editor, [[Talcott Williams]].{{sfn|Walsh|1968|p=120}} This edition was set up from new type and thoroughly revised. It was very strong in biography.<ref>{{cite book|year=1988|title=The Encyclopedia Americana|page=333|volume=10}}</ref>
Numerous colorful maps which display the nations, states, colonies, and protectorates which existed early in the 20th century are included. The maps are valuable for their depictions of national and colonial borders in Europe, Asia, and Africa at the time of [[World War One]]. Drawings, illustrations, and photographs are plentiful, too.


A third edition was published in 1923, however this was mostly a reprint with the addition of a history of the [[First World War]] in volume 24, which had previously been a reading and study guide. A two-volume supplement was published in 1925 and was incorporated into the 1927 reprint, which had 25 volumes. There was a further two-volume supplement in 1930 along with another reprint.{{sfn|Walsh|1968|p=121}}


The final edition, in 1935, was published by [[Funk & Wagnalls]]. This edition included another updated supplement, authored by Herbert Treadwell Wade. Some material from ''The New International'' would be incorporated into future books published by Funk and Wagnalls such as ''[[Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopaedia]]''.{{sfn|Walsh|1968|p=121}}


The 1926 material was printed in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]], by [[Yale University Press]]. Boston Bookbinding Company of Cambridge produced the covers. Thirteen books enclosing 23 volumes comprise the encyclopedia, which includes a supplement after Volume 23. Each book contains around 1600 pages.<ref>{{cite book|last=Graham|first=B.|date=1928|title=Bookman's Manual|page=28}}</ref>
==Foreign-born in certain places in 1910==
An account of the number of foreign-born people living in certain places is given for the year [[1910]].


Like other encyclopedias of the time, ''The New International'' had a yearly supplement, ''The New International Yearbook'', beginning in 1908. Like the encyclopedia itself, this publication was sold to Funk and Wagnalls in 1931. It was edited by Frank Moore Colby until his death in 1925, and then by Wade. In 1937, [[Frank Horace Vizetelly]] became editor.{{sfn|Walsh|1968|p=121}} The yearbook outlasted the parent encyclopedia, running to 1966.<ref>{{cite book|editor-last=Colby|editor-first=Frank Moore|year=1908|title=The New International Yearbook: A Compendium of the World's Progress for the Year|publisher=Dodd, Mead & Co.|oclc=183333553}}</ref>

::While it is claimed for Boston that it still retains its old [[United States|American]] spirit and character, the city has a larger foreign element than many other large American cities. The percentage of people of foreign birth in [[1890]] was 35.37, and those of foreign parentage constituted 60.9; while in [[1900]] the former constituted 34.8 per cent, and in [[1910]] 35.9 per cent, of the total population. Of the foreign nationalities, the [[Ireland|Irish]] are most strongly represented. The largest immigration of Irish took place in the decade [[1845]]-[[1855|55]], the immigrants settling in the once fashionable section of the North End. The [[Scotland|Scottish]], [[England|English]], and [[Germany|German]]s are represented in much smaller numbers, while in later years the immigration has been made up largely of [[Italy|Italian]]s and [[Jews|Russian Jews]], the latter having taken the place of the Irish in the North End of the city. The [[colored]] population is very small, having been less than 12,000 in [[1900]] and under 14,000 in [[1910]].

::Chicago has a remarkably high per cent (36) of foreign-born population, and of the native-born, 54 per cent are of foreign parentage. Of the foreign nationalities the [[Germany|German]]s are most numerous, aggregating more than twice the number of [[Irish]], the latter having shown an inclination to remain in the [[Eastern]] towns. The numbers of those who are of foreign birth '''or parentage''' are given in the following list after the names of the countries from whence they were derived: [[Germany]], 501,832; [[Austria]], 227,958; [[Ireland]], 204,821; [[England]] and [[Scotland]], 85,894; [[Canada]], 66,453; [[Russia]], 184,757; [[Scandinavia|Scandinavian countries]], 184,747; and various other countries of [[Europe]], 303,909; making a total under this classification (exclusive of Canadians) of 1,693,918, i. e., about 77 and one-half per cent of the entire population of the city. The population rose to 2,701,705 in [[1920]], an increase of approximately 23 per cent. 44,103 [[Negro|negro]]es were enumerated in [[1910]].

::From [[1810]], the date of the first Federal census, to [[1880]], the totals include with the city of Saint Louis the population of Saint Louis County, which in [[1880]] was separately enumerated at 31,888. The great growth between [[1840]] (35,979) and [[1850]] (104,978) had for one of its causes the [[Germany|German]] [[emigration]] following the [[revolution of 1848|revolutionary movement of 1848]]. This influence has been continuous. In [[1910]], 47,765 out of the total of 125,706 foreign-born residents of the city were natives of the [[German Empire]]. This was 38 per cent, exclusive of [[Austrian]]s of German race. In [[1910]], 11.3 per cent of the foreign-born population was of [[Ireland|Irish]] nativity, 4.1 per cent of [[England|English]], 12.3 per cent of [[Russia|Russian]], 6 of [[Italy|Italian]], and 8.8 of [[Austrian]]. Although the total of foreign-born is comparatively small, the native population born of white foreign parents is 246,946, the native population born of native white parents being 269,836. The [[Negro|negro]] population was 43,960. (In [[1910]], 687,029 people lived in the city).
* [[San Francisco, California]]
::In [[1910]], San Francisco had a population of 416,912, 50.3 per cent of the population being native whites, 43.1 per cent foreign-born whites, and 6.4 per cent belonging to [[colored]] races. There were 24,137 [[German people|German]]s, 23,151 [[Irish people|Irish]], 9,815 [[English people|English]], 6,244 [[French people|French]], 4,641 [[Austrian]]s, 10,582 [[Han Chinese|Chinese]], and 6,988 [[Japanese]]. The number of Chinese is diminishing, while the Japanese are increasing slowly or not at all. The Chinese are segregated in a quarter of their own, which has been rebuilt since the fire with almost, if not all, of its former charm and color, while Japanese colonies may be found in several parts of the city.

The State lost largely in the latter part of the nineteenth century through immigration to the Western States, but in recent years this outflow has been offset to a considerable extent by the increase in immigration of foreign-born population, particularly [[French Canadian]]s. The urban population, i. e., that of places of 2500 or more, was, in [[1910]], 255,099, and the rural population, 175,473. The native whites of native parentage in that year were 230,231; the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 103,177; the foreign-born whites 96,558. Of the foreign-born whites the largest number came from [[Canada]] and [[Ireland]]. By sex the population was divided in [[1910]] into 216,290 males and 214,282 females. The males of voting age numbered 136,668.

Latest revision as of 21:59, 24 January 2024

The New International Encyclopedia was an American encyclopedia first published in 1902 by Dodd, Mead & Co.. It descended from the International Cyclopaedia (1884) and was updated in 1906, 1914 and 1926.

History[edit]

First edition, volume eight

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 itself was a reprint of the British Chambers's Encyclopaedia. The title was changed to The New International Encyclopedia in 1902, with editors Harry Thurston Peck, Daniel Coit Gilman and Frank Moore Colby.[1]

The encyclopedia was popular and reprints were made in 1904, 1905, 1907 (corrected and expanded to 20 volumes), 1909 and 1911. The 2nd edition appeared from 1914 to 1917 in 24 volumes. With Peck and Gilman deceased, Colby was joined by a new editor, Talcott Williams.[1] This edition was set up from new type and thoroughly revised. It was very strong in biography.[2]

A third edition was published in 1923, however this was mostly a reprint with the addition of a history of the First World War in volume 24, which had previously been a reading and study guide. A two-volume supplement was published in 1925 and was incorporated into the 1927 reprint, which had 25 volumes. There was a further two-volume supplement in 1930 along with another reprint.[3]

The final edition, in 1935, was published by Funk & Wagnalls. This edition included another updated supplement, authored by Herbert Treadwell Wade. Some material from The New International would be incorporated into future books published by Funk and Wagnalls such as Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopaedia.[3]

The 1926 material was printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Yale University Press. Boston Bookbinding Company of Cambridge produced the covers. Thirteen books enclosing 23 volumes comprise the encyclopedia, which includes a supplement after Volume 23. Each book contains around 1600 pages.[4]

Like other encyclopedias of the time, The New International had a yearly supplement, The New International Yearbook, beginning in 1908. Like the encyclopedia itself, this publication was sold to Funk and Wagnalls in 1931. It was edited by Frank Moore Colby until his death in 1925, and then by Wade. In 1937, Frank Horace Vizetelly became editor.[3] The yearbook outlasted the parent encyclopedia, running to 1966.[5]

More than 500 men and women submitted and composed the information contained in The New International Encyclopedia.
