Chambers' Encyclopaedia was based on the celebrated German Conversations-Lexicon, although with a far greater emphasis on British history and biography, as well as use of illustrative engravings and maps. This edition included revised and updated articles, which the publishers felt necessary following the completion of the first edition in 1868.
