It appeared in 24 parts or sections, and was subsequently bound into six volumes at the request of the subscriber. . [a] two-volume supplement issued in 1909. . The Century Dictionary is one of the best dictionaries ever produced." - O'Neill, ENGLISH-LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES, 1604-1900, C-20. This edition defines over 500,000 words and names. "The method of distributing this encyclopedic material under a large number of headings, which have been followed throughout, makes each item of this store of information far more accessible than works in which a different system is adopted." - Publisher's Note. Here the Dictionary has been extended by two additional volumes. For the ATLAS, since the 1897 first edition, "All of the maps have been amended; a number of them have been entirely remade; several have been added; and the index has been reset, while the statistical matter which it contains has been brought down to date." - Preface, 1911.
