History or the World Mt n GIance.
The above is true Of Il work Just pre-
sented for our inspection called "Ad-
ans SynchronOlogical Chart of Uni
versal History, published by Jay An
drews * Co, Chicago, Ill. We cannot
attempt a description of the work, and
as it must be seen to be understood
and appreciated, we will simply add
some criticisms Of the press and scholars
and recommend our readers to exam
inc the chart when an opportunity is
offered. We heartily indorse the
following testimonials:
PROF. n. +. STARK, Principal of
Public Schools, Cheyenne, Wyoming:-I
| have examined Adams Chart of
Universal History, now offered to the
public. 1t is Il great work. 1t will i'm
mortaliZe the name of its author and
revolutionize the study of history. The
study, which formerly has been dry and
uninteresting, especially to the young
student, will now, by means of this
chart, be esteemed as a p~leasurable pas
time. The facts, which formerly re-
quired weeks To arrange and classify,
car be obtained from this chart and
classified in as many minutes.
l truly regret that the author of it
did no live at an earlier period, so that
| might have had the advantages which
it gives i'll my boyhood. No family
where there are children, noman in the
common walks of life, no student, no
professional man, a well afford to be
without it. Its price is nominal, when
compared with its intrinsic value. 1t
is the concentrated essence of all his
tory, sacred or profane, ancient or
modern. 1t will be to the study of his
tory what the railroad is to travel or
the telegraph to the Communication Of
thought.
G. BICCLOsKIE, l.. l.. D., Prof. of
Nat. History, Princeton Coliege:-''It
is worth a library of books on the sub
iect of history"
REV. t. A. MCCURDY, ID. D.,
Wooster, Ohio:-"My children knew
more of history after three months with
Adams Chart than l did when l
graduated from college"
SIR CHAs. REED, Pres't of the Lon
don School Board, said:-"The author
of that work does not need n monu-
ment over his grave"
EDWARD f. MOVES, United States
Minister Of Par is:-''lt is the most in
structive instrument | ever saw. Not
Il day passes but that Mrs. NOyes and
myself refer to it. and as for my boy,
he knows more history today
than | did when | commenced prac.
tiCe.
GEO AUuTsTC5 SALA, Il of Eng
lands ablest authors: -" Imagine
'Haydn's Dictionaryof Dates plus
'Calumet's Dictionary of the Bible, ;
plus the Complete Gazetteer plus
all Maunder's Treasures made
graphic, and you gather some idea of
the nature of this %pOrtentous work"
JUDGE E. r. PAIGE, Pres't of Iowa
College of Sciences:-"Your system is
an orderly arrangement of knowledge.
You have rendered this meaning in its
fullest strength, gathering the salient
points from hundreds of volumes,
| bringing them within easy reach of the
inquirer, and arranging them in syn
chronological rotation, thereby fixing
each incident by a land mark on the
memory
$. l.. CLEMENS (MAEK TWAIN

thing. Haven't got tiWe to study it
now. IN have this one. How much
is the thing, anyhow?'
Hon. C.. L. LLrriNCorr, late Audi.
tor-GeneTal of Illinois:-"If | could
reach and influence the public, ! an
sure the chart would be in every house
where there are adults who wish to un-
derstand human history; OF Young PEG.
pie to be educated"
THE ADVANCE, Chicago:-''It seems
to cloLhe the dry bones Of history with
flesh and blood. and gives life and re-
ality to the study. 1t would be valuable
in every home
