  1. Watkins Biographical Dictionary

    Watkins s Biographical Dictionary , also called The Universal Biographical Dictionary , was originally published in 1800, with a second edition in 1825, as An Historical Account of the lives, characters and works of the most eminent persons in every age and nation, from the earliest times to the present . It was compiled by John Watkins writer John Watkins , LL.D., and published by Longman , Rees Orme, Brown and Green. Entry on Hume The dictionary is notable for its entry on the philosopher David Hume , which notes that he published the Treatise in London in 1738, but its reception not answering his expectations, he printed a small analysis of it, in a sixpenny pamphlet, to make it sell . Because the pamphlet A Treatise of Human Nature Abstract An Abstract of the Treatise of Human Nature was published anonymously, it is not known how the author of the article came by this information. Norman Kemp Smith has speculated that the firm of Longman s, who published both Watkin s dictionary, and volume III of the A Treatise of Human Nature , was the channel through which the tradition of Hume s authorship of the Abstract was preserved ref Norman Kemp Smith, Mind 1938 ref .

The publication is now in its ninth edition. Edition history The 5th edition of 1958, 8th edition of 1992, and 9th edition of 2001 were major rewrites and expansions. The 5th edition was rewritten by new editor Nicolas Slonimsky , who would remain editor for several decades through the 8th edition in 1992 and have a considerable influence on the style and content of the dictionary. In preparing the 5th edition, Slonimsky expanded the size of the work to 1,855 pages , and undertook a thorough review of the existing entries, expending considerable effort verifying and correcting biographical details such as birth and death dates by reference to archival sources. The 8th edition of 1992 revised 1,300 entries and added 1,100 new ones, coming to 2,115 pages, with an emphasis on expanding coverage of female and Asian musicians, multimedia composers, performance art ists, and ethnomusicology ethnomusicologists . The 9th edition of 2001, billed the Centennial Edition , was the first not to be a single volume work, taking up six volumes, partly due to expanded coverage and partly due to somewhat more generous formatting to improve readability. The 9th edition included a focus on increasing coverage of popular music popular and jazz music . References cite journal author Bonna J.
