[[File:Brockhaus1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|''Brockhaus Konversations-Lexikon'', first edition (1796-1808)]]
The ''Brockhaus Konversations-Lexikon'' was published in Leipzig, Germany from 1796 to 1808 in 6 volumes. Parallel to other 18th-century encyclopedias, the scope was expanded beyond that of previous publications, in an effort to be all-encompassing. But the work was not intended for scientific use, but to disseminate the results of research and discoveries in a simple and popular form without excessive detail. This format, in contrast to that of ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', was widely imitated by successive nineteenth-century encyclopedias in Great Britain, the United States, France, Spain, Italy and other countries. Of the encyclopedias that had a certain influence between the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth, the ''Brockhaus Enzyklopädie'' is perhaps the most similar in form to modern encyclopedias, and would literally be the basis for several works which would follow.
