NB: The Lincoln Library of Essential Information is a classic American, topically arranged single-volume abridged encyclopedia first published in 1924 by the Frontier Press Company.

The encyclopedia followed a unique organizational strategy, functioning essentially as twelve distinct books amalgamated into one comprehensive reference tool. Main subject sections are: The English Language; Literature; History; Geography and Travel; Science; Mathematics; Economics and Useful Arts; Government and Politics; Fine Arts; Education; Biography; and Miscellany.
