We have critically examined the van
Gus popular cyelop1iia and have in our
Office the American, BritannicA and
Zell's and have concluded after this
examination that the work bearing the
above title is best suited for reference,
is the least expensive, the least cum
bersome and by far the best work for
practical people. We shall have oeca-
sion hereafter 10 present its many yalu-
able features, and pass the matter for
this week by referring our readers 10
the many hattering notices here APP
pended.

NJ. 7. BRowS, Dear Sir:
In the four or i've months hat | have
had J~ohns0n's CyelOrrdia | have had
occasion 10 examine II very frequently,
and have always obtained therefrom the
information | was seeking. | look up
on this work as the most reliable, at the
same time most replete with valuable
information of any cyclopr1 liza ! nave
had the pleasure OF examining, and /
have used Appleton's New American
for years.
am very respectfully yours,

Mr.. NJ. Il. BROWN:
Dear Sir-IIaving examined John
sons Cyclo.Eedia somewhat carefully,
and compared various articles in II
with the articles on the same subjects in
other ~cyclopasdias, and noticed also i'm
portant omissions In others, which are
here supplied. feel free 10 say that this
one is superior, in my Judgment. to
others for practical purposes, and for
general American readers. Although |
have both Appleton's Revised Ameri-
can, and the Encyclopedia britannica,
| still need this for its additional mat
ter, and its great accuracy.

Prof. NJ. Il. Brown:
Dar Sir:-Even u brief examination
OF Johnson's Universal Cyclopsedia con-
yinces me that II Is greatly superior to
any similar work published in this coun-
try. have recently purchased Zell's,
yet find myself scarcely less in need of
Johnson's, which contains a vast
amount OF information not found in
Zell's.
As gazetteer II is very full and cor
rect; in biography it is 80 complete as
TO render n special dictionary unneces-
sary TO most people owning this. In
each of several departments of science
il has u full yet terse treatise, well H.
Illustrated, from the pen of n master.
Its price is so moderate as to bring
it within the reach OF thousands who
have hitherto been debarred the pleas
urc and profit of owning and consulting
an encyclopedia. l wish it could be
