 The undersigned. formerly in the book l business as M. W. Manning d Co., at $50 Chapel street, desires to inform his friends ! and agents that he has been obliged to dis continue business on account of the severe competition since the publication of Gays Standard Encyclopedia and several other works by the long established house of Will liam Gay $ Go, AS his experience is that these works are the most popular and best selling in the market, he desired to connect him self with this house and has therefore ac- cepted the position of manager of the agents department for said William Gay & Go. at 256 Chapel street, New Haven, where he will be pleased to see all those who have been conn ected with him in business. Many of his former agents are now in the employ of this house, and ha wishes to state that agents desiring to handle the best and cheapest en- cyclopadia will do well to call on him and examine Gays Standard Encyclopedia and Self Educator, price $5, as he is prepared to give them unparalleled terms on this and other fast selling works, also on three new books now in press and to be issued shortly. The following are a few extracts from the press on ths fastest selling book of the sea- son. M. W. MANNING. ROCKVILLE LEADER-It is book of which you might expect to find similar, yet when you examine you find you have made a mis- take. Like the Leader, it contains some thing for everybody. And yet each subject seems in itself to be exhausted. The Staf- ford Press thus speaks of the book, and Me- Laughlin is a pretty good judge: 'fGay's Standard Encyclopedia is just what it claims to be- viz. :: Self Educator and should be at hand for reference in every home. While 1t is invaluable to those whose early educa. ton has been limited, it is pleasant and prof. table companion for the most cultured. The 1<a1 T, oI, r ! Happiness, from the pen of one of New Ha- ven's most gifted divines, Rev. Dr. Dennen. It will bear many readings, and develop new beauty at each perusal. In short, it is a
 live book written by men living at the present time, and adapted to the wants of the living age.' There is not an obsolete form in it."
 FROM LooM1s' JoURNA1.-We are convinc- ed by very careful and thorough examina- tion of this work that it is all that it's name implies, and combines in one volume all the excelIences of the other encyclopedias with interesting and useful material which can be found in none of them. Any one of it's ar ticles will more than repay the price of the whole book. To use the battle cry of the famous s'Dictionary War, " Get the best, !" and in our opinion Gays Standard Encyclo- psedia is all that. The more we read the better pleased we are with it. Every page is forced to compensate for the space it oc cu- p165 huu R1N0 1bS G6au0E6 6OIu0 1ulpOElhuG 1Q- formation. The wide range of topics which the work covers, the practical subjects which it embraces, and the clearness and fullness with which each is treated, renders this En- cyclopsdia household treasure in every home.
 WuLndANrIo JoURNAL-We are convinced by a very careful and thorough examination of this work that it combines in one volume all the excellences of the other encyclopedias with interesting and useful material which can be found in some of them. Its several depart ments have been written and prepared by the best local talent, whose names are sufficient guarantee of the conscientiousness and care with which they have been treated.
 NORWICH BULhETIN-Thls work is entirely different from other encyclopedias and though numerous separate works have been written on the different themes here dealt with, no one comprehensive volume, embrac- ing them all, and afording so much specific and sueoinct suggestion, has ever been gotten out before.
 NEW HAVEN PAL1ADIUM.-This is an at tractively gotten up volume designed for practical use. It is divided into nine parts, is well indexed, so that one can turn readily to that topic or division of it which contains the information which he seeks, and there are numerous illustrations, all illustrations in fact as well as name, from which the user gets practical ideas of the matter in hand
