Rees's Cyclopaedia, in full The Cyclopaedia; or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature was an important 19th-century British encyclopaedia edited by Rev. Abraham Rees (1743ÔÇô1825), a Presbyterian minister and scholar who had edited previous editions of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. Philosophical radicalism was suspect in Britain, and aspects of the Cyclopaedia were thought to be distinctly subversive and attracted the hostility of the Loyalist press. These reviews complained about its supposed antireligious aspects and radical standpoints attributed to its editor and contributors, and cited lack of article balance. The Quarterly Review commented, "Rees is the most extensive cyclopaedia in English with many excellent articles it has generally been condemned as on the whole too diffuse and too commonplace."
