Johnson,s New Universal Cyoloped

Johnson's New Universal Cyclopedia.
This work was planned by the late Horace
Greeley, and published by A. j. johnson & Co.,
New York city. Mr. Greeley felt the need of
what he styled the Busy Mans Reference Lii
brary-a work not SO vouminous as to exclude
it from the table, or desk, and yet complete in
all the departments of learning; work of easy
access and ready reference; compendium of
facts in relation to subjects rather than of opin-
ions in regard to them, but above all, work
thoroughly authentic and reliable. How fully
this idea of Mr.. Greeleys has been carried out in
the completion of this work, is at least
partially attested in the organization of the
editorial staff, but more fully and completely in
the test of actual use
The whole work was placed in the hands Of
President F. A. P. Barnard, of Columbia College.
New York, and Prof. Arnold Guyot, of Prince
ton College, New Jersey as editors in chief,
These eminent scholars have had associated with
them in the preparation of the work thirty
seven other men renowned in their several de-
partments of learning, and each of these having
In charge his special department of the work
These associate editors have called to their
assistance more than two thousand of the great
est scholars of the United States and Europe.
CHANGING through the elegant volumes before
Us, we notice the names of eminent scholars
attached to the several articles prepared by EACH
thus securing to this valuable work the great
aesideratum Mr. Greeley had in mind, authenti-
sity.
At the head of the department. of public law
and international law, is Theodore D. Woolsey,
px-President Of Yale College; civil and constitu-
honal law, Theodore w. Dwight; American
history, Hon. Horace Greeley and the Hon.
Alexander II. Stephens; botany Asa Gray;
medicine and surgery, Professor Willard Parker;
md so with every leading department..
More than eight thousand Of the special ar
Hcles of this work are signed by the men who
prepared them, the entire work containing nearly
Dne hundred thousand subjects, exclusive of
short geographical notices and references
The fair and candid manner Of treating all
,ontroverted subjects is notable-whether in the
Geld of science, religion or politics. Example:
sDarwinism" is comprehensively treated by
Prof. Youmans, one Of the competent advocates
If the theory; Immediately following we have
"Criticisms on Darwinism, . by President Seelye
If Amherst College, one of the strongest oppo-
pents of the doctrine In like manner sFree
Trade is treated by Hon. David A. Wells, and
"ProtectionD by the Hon. RichardA Dana sCal-
vinismD by Dr. A. a. Hodge, and Armenian
ism" by DR.. Wheden, and SO with the various
political parties throughout the history Of the
republic
The department of biography, one Of special
interest at all times, is full and complete. This
Is particularly true Of home biography Of living
men. From Indiana we notice the names of
