TIE american Reprint of the En-
cyc3ODedia Britannica

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers OF our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hndrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts, every word, cut illustration,
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
TESTIMONIALS FROM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, osH-
KosH, WISCONSIN.
OSHKOSH, WIS, Dec. II, 1879.
Col. E. B. GRAY, Agent for Reprint of ENCY-
CLoPEDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue Of the Encyclopedia Britannica-yiz., the
Original English Edition." the american Re
print, Thy J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., and what is call
ed the ''Scribner-Hall Edition'-has enabled us
to discover the following facts:
inferior to the "Original" in the letterpress pa
per and binding.
q It does not give the full text of the english
Edition. and in some instances the omissions in
text are such a character as to teach error Es-
pecially is this seen in the article Anatomy
3. The plates do not agree with the Original"
most of them being smaller. These reductions
in some cases being made; and the text describ-
ing the plates not being changed, correct idea
of the size of the plants (see article 'Botany')
cannot be obtained.
4. The marginal references in many instances,
are so bound into the backs of the volumes as to
render them quite useless.
5. The maps vary from the Original" show
ing that they are not ''from the same,'' but from
quite inferior plates Notably is this the case
in the maps of Cornwall and Cumberland in
which the fne-line engraving showing elevations
is entirely omitted.
6. So many serious defects occur in this ssScrib
ner-Hall Edition. that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work, 'both in letter-press and illustrations like
the English edition." is not being carried out in
good faith. In other words, we are not receiving
what we contracted for.
So far as we have examined the american
Reprint" published by J. M. Stoddart & Co.. it
is a faithful reproduction in subject matter of
the original text maps and plates 1t is well
printed on excellent paper, is well bound, and is
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
ling than quarto.

opportunity, not even to give two mites,
or the cup of cold water, or the word of
good cheer, or the prayer of faith, that
soul is exempt from the binding force
of the law. But even that soul ought
to be ready for the good deed when the
opportunity comes. If there is a soul
in the church so unlike the good Samar-
itan that he had no neighbors. either
jew or Gentle, among the "all men"
of this command, that soul may stand
before Christ at the day of judgment
and say, Il had no suffering brother
man to whom l could give the two
mites or the cup of cold water. i pray
Thee have me excused"
1t was for little act of love, last
memorial of affection and sympathy,
that our Savior spoke the word of en-
comium to faithful disciple when she
had broken her precious alabaster box
to anoint His head and His feet-''She
hath done what she could; let her
alone" Oh, what blessed ministry of
love and mercy every life might be il
Christ's disciples only had the heart to
work according to their ability and ac-
cording to the measure of their oppor-
tunity! And what a witness to the
world it would be if the whole brother
hood of disciples would exemplify in
their daily action that single text of
St. James: pure religion and unde-
filed before God and the Father is this:
to visit the fatheIless and the widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world. ."-Chicago
