Library of Entertaining Knowledge The Library of Entertaining Knowledge was founded by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.[1] The books appeared from 1829 to 1838, published in London by Charles Knight, and complemented the Society's Library of Useful Knowledge, which had not sold as well as hoped.[2][3] The volumes were priced at 4s. 6d, more expensive than rival non-fiction series.[4] Number Year Title Author Comments 1[5] 1829 (31 March) The Menageries.
