OFJOHNSON'S CH CLOPEDLA.

The President Of Amherst College, on receiving
the last volume Of this work, writes ut Is a
wonderful book, there is nothing in any language
comparable 10 It for the extent and thoroughness
OF ts information in so condensed space" And
this seems 10 be the opinion Of all the judges in
the country.
In fact those who will compare it with other
Cyclopedias could hardly come to any other con-
Cluslon.
But that Europe should acknow edge It's super
ioTiy, and honor 1t above all others is more than
we expected, but It even So as the following
