Once considered the largest and most extensive source of
biographies in the English language, The Universal Dictionary of
Biography and Mythology contains information on nearly every
historical figure, notable name, and important subject of mythology
from throughout the world prior to the 20th century. Spanning all
fields of human effort-from literature and the arts to philosophy
and science-and touching on topics from multiple areas of
mythological study, including Norse, Greek, and Roman, this
extraordinary reference guide continues to be one of the most
thorough and accurate collections of biographical data ever
created. Combining mythological and biographical entries into a
single, comprehensive list, and incorporating a unique system of
indicating pronunciation and orthography, The Universal Dictionary
of Biography and Mythology offers readers an unparalleled record of
historically significant identities, from the obscure and forgotten
newsmakers of yesteryear to the highly celebrated shapers of
history that remain influential today. Volume II (CLU-HYS) of this
exquisite four-volume set includes information on such names as
Clytemnestra, Constantine the Great, Charles Dickens, Stoic
philosopher Euphrates, English author John Fox, Galileo, Hercules,
and many more. JOSEPH THOMAS (1811-1891) also wrote A Comprehensive
Medical Dictionary, various pronouncing vocabularies of
biographical and geographical names, and a system of pronunciation
for Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the World.
