THE AMERICAN CYC LOPEDIA.

Few persons have any conception Of the
amount OF labor and expense entailed in
the publication OF an encyclopedia. We
were once the owner Of copy OF the Ed
niburg Encycloped a, Quartz. and learned
from the advertisement that ITS pubic
ton involved an expenditure Of Sl50.00O
before single copy was issued from the
Press The American Cyclopcdia, is not
so volumnious, but is more compendious
than the Edlnburg and it's revision has
cost the publishers over 100000 1t treat
OF greater va iety Of subjects, and in a
more condcnse manner.
The publication OF cyclopedia, re-
quires the employ Of the most talent
ed and thoroughly educated writes on ev-
cry subject on wh.ca books may be written
f,r it co.apri,e in itse Ia whole library
History, i;.og Apply, Botany, Bibliogra-
ply, Biography, Mathematics, Astronomy,
Mechanics, The ,logy, Hydrostat,cs, &c.
These writers must not only be fully
posted on the matters on which they write.
but they must have the faculty OF telling
what they know in few words.
The American Cyclopedia is invalua-
be to L man Of business, no matter what
branch of business he is engaged in ; there
is almost every day some point on which
he needs information; however large IL
brary lie may have to which he may refer,
if he has a reliable c, clopedia, that is the
most convenient; to that he turns, and in
it he finds the information sought in the
most condensed and practicable form.
Mr. X. 4. Orvis is now inlthis'city solic-
iting subscriptions to App'eton's A"eri-
can Cyclopeda, From u personal knowl-
edge of the work, We can recommend
it most cordially to all who need it, as n
"Jade mecum" treating in an intelligent
and interesting manner, on almost every
subject with which men have any thing
to do.
The work is sold entirely by subscrip-
ton Mess. Appleton publish notice
that there will be no change from the pri-
ccs charged by the agents, and that they
will not sell Il copy at their store at any
price.
We hope Mr.. Oryis will succeed in sccu-
ring a large number OF subscribers in our
town and county.
