Prof. G. W. Fitch!

Dear Sir: This is to certify that | have
carefully examined Johnson's Universal
Cyclopaedia, and compared it to some
extent with others. ] confess that | was
somewhat prejudiced in favor of the Bri-
tannica until | saw Johnson's.
am now fully satisfied that Johnson's is
the LATEST, FULLEST and CHEAP
EST, Universal ~Cyclopaedia extant. The
careful subdivisions of topics by means of
italic sub4headings, renders it admirable
for prompt and easy reference this
feature is not possessed by any other work
of like character. The National reputation
of its corps of 40 editors, with its 33 special
departments, makes it AUTHORIZE
TIVE, beyond question. If ! could have
but one Cyclopaedia, that ONE would be
Johnson's. {. II. Valdez,
