	Charles Knight
		In 1832 and 1833 he started The Penny Magazine and The Penny Cyclopaedia, both of which had a large circulation.
		The Penny Cyclopaedia, however, on account of the heavy excise duty, was only completed in 1844 at a great pecuniary sacrifice.
		In 1853 he became editor of The English Cyclopaedia, which was practically only a revision of The Penny Cyclopaedia, and at about the same time he began his Popular History of England (8 vols., 1856-1862).

	Durham Cathedral
		A GENERAL account of Durham Cathedral having been already furnished in No. 73 of the 'Penny Magazine,' we are now enabled to give a more detailed attention to that part of it called the "Galilee," and to the tomb of the Venerable Bede, whose remains are deposited there.
		As an account of that great ornament of the eighth century has lately appeared in the 'Penny Cyclopaedia,' the present article will be particularly satisfactory to such of our readers as are subscribers to that publication, while nothing that relates to a man whose name is so familiar can be at any time uninteresting.
		There is some difference of opinion as to the cause of the application of the name of Galilee to the western porch, raised directly under the west window of a cathedral or other great church, and which is still retained for the western porches of Durham and Ely cathedrals.

		The use of preparations of mercury in medicine is well known, especially in the form of calomel, which is a compound of mercury, oxygen, and muriatic acid; and a larger proportion of the acid forms corrosive sublimate, one of the most deadly poisons.

	Augustus De Morgan
		In 1860 De Morgan endeavored to render their contents better known by publishing a Syllabus of a Proposed System of Logic, from which may be obtained a good idea of his symbolic system, but the more readable and interesting discussions contained in the memoirs are of necessity omitted.
		Throughout his logical writings De Morgan was led by the idea that the followers of the two great branches of exact science, logic and mathematics, had made blunders -- the logicians in neglecting mathematics, and the mathematicians in neglecting logic.
		He also wrote biographies of Isaac Newton and Edmund Halley for Knight's British Worthies, various notices of scientific men for the Gallery of Portraits, and for the uncompleted Biographical Dictionary of the Useful Knowledge Society, and at least seven articles in Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography.

		There were two, and sometimes three aquaria in the room, tanks of sea-water, with glass sides, inside which all sorts of creatures crawled and swam; these were sources of endless pleasure to me, and at this time began to be laid upon me the occasional task of watching and afterwards reporting the habits of animals.
		At other times, I dragged a folio volume of the Penny Cyclopaedia up to the study with me, and sat there reading successive articles on such subjects as Parrots, Parthians, Passion-flowers, Passover and Pastry, without any invidious preferences, all information being equally welcome, and equally fugitive.
		It will be asked what the attitude of my Father’s mind was to me, and of mine to his, as regards religion, at this time, when we were thrown together alone so much.

		David Masson notes the stigma of the penny part for the intellectual reaches of Macmillan’s readership and contributors.
		What author, not a paragon of conscientiousness, could venture to cite the “Penny Cyclopaedia” in the text of a book as his authority for a statement, or to let the words “Penny Cyclopaedia” figure among his footnotes.
		Given the proclivity to serialisation, this new edition is published in volumes which themselves contain reshuffled entries and are grouped into parts which form a series that makes a whole, which Masson advises his readers to buy.
