Volume ~. of Alden's Cyclopedia of
Universal Literature is out. This GER
tainly is work of extraordinary popu,
lar interest, and it would be very strange
if at it's low price it should not receive an
immense circulation. Though it is to ex-
tend probably to fifteen volumes, and
will include representative selections
with biographical sketches) from nearly
1900 of the most famous authors of the
world, of all ages and all nations, yet it is
easily within the reach of any one able to
invest so small sum as ten cents a
week. .t
''The general excellence of this valuable
work is fully maintained in the volume
just received. The marvellous cheapness
of this edition has placed it within the
reach of many who are overjoyed to call
such work their "c-Oreeonian.

which shows the attention given to Amer

means OF 1t can secure the best general
view of the worlds literature" = The
