 However, English-composed encyclopedias appeared in the 18th century, beginning with "Lexicon technicum, or A Universal English Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" by John Harris (two volumes, published 1704 and 1710, respectively), which contained articles by such contributors as Isaac Newton.Ephraim Chambers wrote a very popular two-volume "Cyclopedia" in 1728, which went through multiple editions and awakened publishers to the enormous profit potential of encyclopedias.Although not all encyclopedias succeeded commercially, their elements sometimes inspired future encyclopedias; for example, the failed two-volume "A Universal History of Arts and Sciences" of Dennis de Coetlogon (published 1745) grouped its topics into long self-contained treatises, an organization that likely inspired the "new plan" of the "Britannica".
