	Chambers's CYCLOPAEDIA
		Ephraim Chambers (q.v.) published his Cyclopaedia; or an Universal Dictionary of Art and Sciences, containing an Explication of the Terms and an Account of the Things Signified thereby in the several Arts, Liberal and Mechanical, and the several Sciences, Human and Divine, London, 1728, fol.
		Chambers endeavoured to connect the scattered articles relating to each subject by a system of references, and to consider the "several matters, not only in themselves, but relatively, or as they respect each other; both to treat them as so many wholes and as so many parts of some greater whole".
		Chambers worked as an apprentice for John Senex, a bookseller and globemaker, and he supplemented his income by writing literary essays and translating.

		Chambers' training under the well-known map and globe maker John Senex may further explain his inclination to select an engraving showing so many scientific instruments as the frontispiece of his encyclopaedia.
		Chambers also had a special link with France and the Paris Académie des sciences, since he translated Jean Dubreuil's Practice of Perspective and co-operated with John Martyn in publishing the Philosophical History and Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Sciences, an abridged translation of papers on natural philosophy by members of the Académie.
		Chambers' particular interest in Leclerc's works, and the strong influence of Chambers on both Howard and Bell, must have had a significant localizing effect.
