The following testimonials are from
well-known scholars i'm Minnesota:
From Prof. Soaring, President of the state
Normal School at Mankato, Mimi.
have been for number of years
acquainted with JoHNsoN's UNIVERSAL
CYCLoPEDIA, and consider 1t work or
excellent character, and one with
peculiar claims for those who desire the
.golden mean" between the costly and
heavy Britannica and one of the cheap
eyclOpadias that are not much better
than dictionary. JOHNsoN's has been
very carefully edited, and i'll the edition
of 1888 is brought down very near 10
date. / know nothing equal to 1t for
the same low price. and nothing
superior to it at any price.
From Prof William F. Phelps, Late President
of Winona Normal School.
l prefer JoHNsoN's UNIVERSAL CY-
CI.oPEDIA to any other work OF the
kind that has come under my notice.
The freshness and originality of its lead
ing articles are in striking contrast with
the mere compilations of many similar
publications. and are among its crown
ing eXcellenceS. The work will certainly
prove to be an enduring monument to
American scholarship and American en-
terprise.
From Hon. William Window. United States
Senator.
| fully concur in the estimate of Prof.
William F. Phelps IN relation to the
great value of JOHNSON's UNIVERSAL
CYCLoP1EDIA and its adaptation to meet
public want not hitherto supplied by
any similar work. The distinguished
names of its editors and contributors
are sufficient guarantee of Its trust
WOrthlneSS.
From j. Fletcher Williams, Librarian Mime
sofa Historical Society.
| have always regarded JOHNsON's
UNIVERSAL CYCLoPEDIA as the best
one for the general reader. i'll its ac-
curacy, size, price, ETC.. that is pub
lished. | have invariably found it re-
liable and full. The articles are con-
else and clear, and all appear to have
been written by specialists or experts
thoroughly versed i'm their topics. In
the library of which l have charge
JoHNsoN's is used more than all the
other cyclop&diaS put together.
From Prof. c. B. Gilbert, Superintendent OF
st. Paul City Schools.
have examined and used JOHNSON's 8
CYCLOP.EDIA,a and have found it admlra-
BILE in every respect. In view or It's
! low price, compact form, and the thor
ougllness and reliability of its articles,
am convinced that it has no equal as
a book of ready reference In the family
and school room.
From Prof. G. n. Carman, Principal of St
Paul High School.
Johnson's Cyclopedia is, in my opin-
ion. better suited to the wants of the
home of our American ciJlZenS than
nfbar unrly Of ifc Kind II lie q
library in itself, and SO simple and con-
venient III its arrangement that chill
dren may consult it as readily as their
parents. | cheerfully recommend 1t as
the teachers ally in the education of
the young.
From the Well-Known Author and Scholar,
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly. +
HASTINGS, Minn., Nov. 18th, 1889. /
have this day subscribed for set OF
JOHNsoN's UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA.
do this although have the American
and the Encyclopedia Britannica. for
the reason that on examination find it
more recent and more complete, al
though in more condensed form; and
containing articles on many interesting
subjects not treated IN the older publi-
cations. l regard it as avery superior
work that should be in every library.
