BURLINGTON, Aug 81.
My Dear Sir: | regard Johnson's Cyclopa-dia
as, upon the whole, the b.st compendium " the
worlds knowledge that am familiar with 1t
contains IN compact and available shape the larg
est amount Of reliable Information to h. found In
any encyclopedia Of my acquaintance, and hence
1t realizes most fully the idea Of encyclopedia
For an encyclopaedia is not the place for learned
dissertations aud exhaustive trratises, much less
for the discussion Of theories and the advance
inent Of speculatiuns. 1t should H.. on the other
hand, an epitome Of facts In all branches Of
knowledge, carefully selected, lucidly arranged,
compressed into the brirfest possible compass
and presenting the marrow uf the matter without
bias la these Respects Juhnsnn's Cy clOps-iia is
clearly superior; IL is a marvel uf comprehensive
hess and condensation. No rnty cop,-lia offers
such an amount Of pertinent aud pthy inforua-
ton. it, articles have b-en prepared under the
supervision Of specialists Of recognized authority

have examined with some care several uf the
volumes Of Johnson Universal Cyclopa'dia, and
can say Of them that think them very excellent.
/ am surprised at the large amount Of really val
liable material contained In each volume. have
s-en similar work which gives much for 40
little money, and for business man or any one
whose limited time nectssitates getting at the
chief facts Of subject in u short time. johnson :
Cyclopa-dia seems to me better than any other,
FRoM THE EDITOR % the RrriAND HERALD
My examination OF Johnson Cyclops-iiA leaves
me doubt Of the justic, Of its claims to superb
ority over all others. II seems to IL compact and
concise, yet comprehensive, accurate, well up
with the times, clear aud Well-arranged | like
especially its sudiS isOn of subjects treated, its
presentation Of both sides Of matters in contro
versy, and especially the authority given Ia It's
statements by the signature Of contributors. Any
newspaper man must see its merit at once, and,
having done 50, he must have the work.
