This vast and magnificent Encyclopaedia by Edward Balfour offers a panoramic view of India, the subcontinent, and Asia, the continent: the land, its people and their culture, its industry and commerce, its sciences and arts, its rocks and minerals, its plants, vegetables and trees, its birds, insects and animals, through to the 19th century. The Encyclopaedia covers a very wide area ranging from Russian Caucasus and Central Asia to Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Korea, Japan, South Eastern Australia, New Zealand and of course India, Bhutan and Nepal. It is indeed an extraordinary work. In it are listed 35000 articles, all power-packed with knowledge. A fantastically large number of facts and figures are integrated and systematically filed within it. For quick and easy reference more than 16000 index headings are listed. Spanning almost the entire continent, this work covers an area of over 30 million square kilometers, populated by over 2000 million people. The Encyclopaedia is alphabetically arranged which is helpful to the reader in locating the information he is seeking for. This is an Encyclopaedia for everyone.
