(Editor's introduction.)
The book was a popular addition to the Victorian (and later post-Victorian) home; by the 89th edition, some 1,180,000 copies had published. With the release of the 113th edition, this number had risen to over 1,500,000.
Tim Berners-Lee apparently named his precursor of the World Wide Web, ENQUIRE, after this work. He said that its title was suggestive of magic and the book served as a portal to a world of information. He thought it not a perfect analogy for the Web, but a primitive starting point.
