Having examined the revised edition
Of Johnson's Universal Cyclopwdia, /
dosnot hesitate to say to all that ! think
it would be to their interest to examine
.Johnson's revised edition. AS 1t Is an
American cyclopadia, it ought to have
place in every American home.
We have testimonials from the high.
est authorities in the world including
fifteen of our greatest institutions of
learning viz. Harvard, Yale, Brown,
Cornell, and Rochester Universities,
Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, Hamil-
ton and Richmond Colleges, etc. The
following are from well known scholars
in Iowa:
From the faculty of the Woodbine
Normal School, Woodbine, Iowa.
After thorough examination Of the
latest edition of Johnson's Universal
Cyclopadsa, and after careful COM
parisOn of it with the American, the
International, and the Library of Uni
versal knowledge, we do not hesitate to
say it is superior to any of them in our
opinion. 1t is SO accurate that 1t can
be accepted as good authority. Its ar
ticles are well-written, clear, concise,
and yet sufficiently comprehensive.
Each principal article has the writer's
name appended very desirable fea-
ture not found in other cyclopndia.
We can conscientiOusly recommend it to
any one desiring a first class cyclop8dia.
In view of these facts we have subscrib-
ed for the work.
From William +. Whitney, Iowa, In
dustrial school, Eldora, Iowa.
| have used Appleton's American
| CyclopRdia, revised edition of 1881, for
two years and supposed had the very
| best. But after Il careful examination
of Johnson's Universal Cyclopadia,
and a comparison of the two works, |
can ccnscientiOusly recommend John
sons as being superior to Appleton's in
many respects. AS evidence of my ap-
probation of the work have made ar
rangements to exchange Appleton's for
Johnson's.
From the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Daily
Republican,.
| In Johnsons Universal CyclopRdia
you have but eight volumes, and they
cover wider and more comprehensive
range of subjects than any cyclopadia
ever published. Beyond a shadow of a
doubt it must, in common justice, be
said that it now stands at the head of
its class.
From Prof. Stalker State Veterinary
Surgeon, Ames, Iowa.
After examining JOhnson's Universal
CyclopRdia, have decided to exchange
my Encyclopedia britannica, and am
sure am getting the cyclopadia that
Americans ought to have.
From Rev. Stephen Phelps, d. D.
Pastor of Presbyterian church, Council
Bluffs, Ia, May 10th, 1888.
| have been acquainted with John,
sons Cycloppdia for several years. II
is comprehensive, concise and distinct
lively American, yet doing justice to
important foreign themes. Its infor
nation is kept abreast of the times
and so presented, as to be quickly anG
easily found. | think all who purchase
| it will be ever better pleased with 1t AZ
they use it.
