PROF. NJ. r. Brown, Dear SIR
Having spent some time in comparing
JohnsOn's Cyclop;edia with Apple
toms American, the Britannica and
Zell's, which have, 1 find that it will
be necessary for me to make new
investment in this great field of litera-
ture. To the advantages of being en-
tirely fresh i'm every particular, ready
for delivery to subscribers, of model
i'm respect of mechanical execution,
and relatively cheaper than the others,
il adds many of yet greater impor-
lance. The purpose to make it m,ircr-
sal has been realized in an eminent
degree, the subjects embraced being
greater i'm number than in any other
CyclOp;edia; the divisions and sub
divisions of each article are so marked
as greatly to facilitate reference;
superior judgment is shown in the
elaborateness or brevity with which
the various topics are treated; the
illustrations, always excellent, are
numerous and full in proportion to the
importance of the matter and the
maps are new and exceptionally conf
plete. Better still, the high character
of the editors. and of the multitude Of
contributors, taken from every field
of science, literature and art, repre-
seuting all civilized lands, and each
made responsible for his part by the
publication Of his name in connection
with his work, affords the best pos
sible guarantee of the thoroughness
and accuracy Of the information con-
tanned. Very Respectfully,
JOHN w. HoyT.
Over thirty of Johnson's Cyclic
pedias have already been taken in
Salina, and Pref. Brown can furnish
few more before Christmas If ordered
soon. Address him post-ofiice box 2ss.
