Part 16. Encyclopedia (Brewster) and Dictionary (Gregory)
Part 16 continues not only a collection of Cornelius Tiebout engravings, but also descriptions of American editions of books—previously published in London or Edinburgh—that include illustrations by British engravers. The copper plates that were used for the British publications were not re-used in America. Instead, American engravers re-drew the images as a first step in the meticulous process of engraving on new copper plates. Among the engravers was Cornelius Tiebout.
The plates can also be viewed in two online volumes:
