The New People's Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge appears to be a multi-volume reference work designed to condense global knowledge into accessible terms, with editions published in the early 20th century. While some listings conflate titles like People's Cyclopedia (1914) and New People's Cyclopedia, the latter explicitly emphasizes universal knowledge and includes specialized appendices for industrial and practical reference. These encyclopedias, often published in multiple volumes, aimed to provide comprehensive yet concise information across diverse subjects, reflecting early 20th-century efforts to democratize access to education and technical knowledge.
