Library of Entertaining Knowledge

The Library of Entertaining Knowledge was founded by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

[1] The books appeared from 1829 to 1838, published in London by Charles Knight, and complemented the Society's Library of Useful Knowledge, which had not sold as well as hoped.

[2][3] The volumes were priced at 4s.

6d, more expensive than rival non-fiction series.
