		Encyclopedia makers are inclined more and more to adopt the dictionary type as better suited to the needs of both the specialized and general reader, and as essential to the adequate presentation of the vast and rapidly increasing accumulation of information in such areas as science, history, and biography.
		In England the dictionary method was followed by John Harris, who compiled a Lexicon Technicum; or an Universal English Dictionary of Arts and Sciences Explaining not only the Terms of Art, but the Arts Themselves, published first in one volume (1704) and then in a second edition of two volumes (1708-1710).
		The greater part of the work, however, fell to Diderot himself, who was especially charged with the articles relating to the arts and trades, as well as those on history and ancient philosophy; in addition, he undertook the general revision and coordination of the material contributed by the others.

	Diderot, the Mechanical Arts, and the Encyclopaedie: In Search of the Heritage of Technology Education
		Paradoxically, Diderot sought to improve the status of artisans and the mechanical arts by exposing their work and knowledge, but his unified system of representation neglected the social aspects of their culture and some of the most complex forms of knowledge in the arts.
		The neglect of the social aspects of the arts is heightened by the dominance of the plates, which constituted a spectacular part of his rational method.
		Diderot's method obscured aspects of the arts or technology that are difficult to articulate, analyze, or draw: technical problems, intuition, design failures, experimentation, and human curiosity and creativity, all of which are critical for invention and innovation.

		In the opening years of the nineteenth century Abraham Rees assembled information for the publication in 1819 of the Cyclopaedia; or Universal Dictionary of Arts Sciences, and Literature, with (according to the frontispiece) "the assistance of eminent professional gentlemen".
		The information contained in the Cyclopaedia is therefore of fundamental significance as it represents the first major printed work on British stage machinery.
		Its importance is further enhanced by the fact that it was written by someone personally experienced in the field and capable of providing an invaluable insight into the profession of the early nineteenth-century stage machinist.

		Derived from the Latin mitto, which in turn is a translation of the Greek apostollo (to send), the term "mission," as an English term with no direct biblical equivalent, has a broad range of acceptable meanings.
		By 1729, use of the word in relation to the church focused on the Great Commission: "Jesus Christ gave his disciples their mission in these words, 'Go and teach all nations, and etc.'" (E. Chambers, Cyclopaedia; or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences).
		The contemporary secular definition of mission is simply "sending someone forth with a specific purpose.." That purpose may be defined broadly (e.g., to represent the interests of the sender) or very narrowly (e.g., to hand-deliver a message written by the sender).
