	The Pears Cyclopaedia Gallery
		Towards the end of the 19th century Thomas J. Barratt of A. and F. Pears concluded that the massive dictionaries and encyclopaedia were far beyond the reach of the general public.
		Pears Cyclopaedia is the result - a unique and fascinating annual reference book.
		This page provides access to four galleries of Pears Cyclopaedia, plus a section on 'Junior Pears', first published in 1961.

	Books \| Soap's first, finest star
		Pears, who launched their Shilling Cyclopaedia in December 1897, made and sold soap.
		It was he who thought up the formula on which the cyclopaedia was built: an English dictionary, medical dictionary, gazetteer, and atlas, together with "A Mass of Curious and Useful Information about Things that everyone Ought to know in Commerce, History, Science, Religion, Literature and other Topics of Ordinary Conversation".
		Pears Cyclopaedia does not contain subliminal plugs for soap, or any gratuitous dragging of soap into its discussions of central nervous systems, the novels of DH Lawrence or the role of nuclear power.

	Professor Bubbles' Official Bubble Home Page
		The enviable international reputation and commercial success which the London based firm of A. Pears has enjoyed for nearly two hundred years is due largely to the efforts of two men: Andrew Pears, a farmer's son from Cornwall, and Thomas J. Barratt, a man often referred to as the father of modern advertising.
		All this was too much even for Francis Pears, who, fearing imminent bankruptcy, withdrew from the firm, taking most of the money and leaving only ;04000 as a loan to be discharged equally by his son and Barratt, who were to remain in sole charge of the business.
		To the latter especially he had opened up new horizons; he joined Pears at a time when advertising was limited by and large to small newspaper advertisements and crudely executed handbills and posters, and lived to see it-brought, to a great extent through his own example, to undreamed of sophistication.

	All-About-Ferrets.com - Ferrets in the Pears Cyclopaedia
		For my American friends - Pears is a soap which was first manufactured way back in the 19th century.
		It's basically a one volume encyclopedia published in the UK and the trademark seems to be a painting by Sir John Millais Bart entitled "Bubbles" on the inside front cover.
		I flicked through the Cyclopaedia to see if they had any reference to ferrets (what else?) and sure enough, they did.

	Bubble History
		Andrew Pears arrived in London in 1789 from his native Cornish village of Mevagissey, where he had trained as a barber.
		He forced the manufacturing world to see the ad-vantages of paying good money for good advertising; in the 1880s Pears were spending between 30,000 and,40,000 pounds a year on advertising and by 1907 the figure had risen to 126,000.

	Table of Precedency
		Fizzgig gets nostalgic over an old book that sets out the Table of Precedency — that is, the relative position from the Sovereign down of anyone who's anyone in Britain.
		As an adolescent I derived a lot of information from it, both helpful and trivial, despite the fact that when it was given to me second-hand by an aunt it was almost 20 years out of date.
		With your indulgence, I’d like to present here some picturesque information that 68 years ago the publishers, A. and F. Pears Ltd., “Soap Makers by Appointment to Their Majesties The King and Queen”, deemed most suitable for inclusion in their “handy volume”.

		This we feel enables the reader to quickly get the facts, and then research a topic more deeply should the reader wish, rather than overwhelming the reader in the first instance with a large volume of perhaps unrequired information.
		The Probert Encyclopaedia sub-divides information into categorised sections, in a fashion much like the Pears Cyclopaedia.
		Thus, articles with the same heading, such as 'Lynx', but with very different contexts will appear in separate sections.
