A new edition of the Pocket Encyclopedia was compiled by minister and writer Jeremiah Joyce, and published as a "corrected and enlarged" edition in 1811. The new edition was published in four thicker 12mo volumes, and sold for ã1 4s.
An 1803 American version, Harris' Minor Encyclopedia, was edited and enlarged by the Rev. Thaddeus Mason Harris.
A German version, Brockhaus' Taschen-Encyklopädie (Pocket Encyclopedia), was published between 1816 and 1820.
