The Encyclopedic Dictionary was a large dictionary published from 1879 to 1888 edited by Robert Hunter. It was a 14 volume project, comparable to the Oxford English Dictionary or Webster's International Dictionary and contained "a considerable amount of encyclopedic information", though was not technically an encyclopedia. [1]
The dictionary would be republished under a number of different names including Lloyds Encyclopedic Dictionary, after the publisher who issued it in 1895; Imperial Dictionary and Encyclopedia and International Dictionary and Cyclopedia during the 1900s when it was published by the Syndicate Publishing Company.
