SOMETHING NEW.

AN AMERICANIzED EDITION OF THE
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNIcA--Form more
than year past the publishers have
been collecting data for this great
work, the compilation and arrange
ment of which have been directed by
gentlemen whose ability and exper-
fence encourage the belief that the
publication is in all respects an inval-
liable acquisition. It is contained in
ten large volumes, each subject being
completely and Complementary, yet
SO correctly and concisely, presented
as to promote the highest success of
the work as standard authority upon
the topics treated. Readers, COM
mentators, students, professional men
and the public will thus be furnished
with the largest measure of informa-
ton in respect to science, art, litera-
ture, the law, and kindred subjects in
a condensed but attractive form and
without the elimination of any fact
necessary to fair statement of the
case under consideration. Useless
verbiage has been guarded against,
and inconsequential speculation and
vain repetition have been avoided. In
a word, space has been suited to the
subject, and the subject to the space
appropriated for its treatment. Mat
ters of interest fifty years ago, but now
Of comparative little consequence,
have been "cut down to the bone"
while the achievements of modern days
in all the departments of life are given
precedence. In addition to informa.
ton of general character, the work
contains complete list of American
cities, together with history of each;
also reliable facts regarding their
financial, social and educational adj
vantages, manufacturing facilities,
productions, population and other
facts Of Importance and value. Bio
graphical sketches of distinguished
Americans, living and dead, brought
down to date, are made a feature of
the work, including those who figured
during the Civil war and in other
great movements. An additional fea-
ture that will commend itself is the
incorporation of series of ninety-six
explanatory maps, showing every
country in the world, with separate
mapof every State in the Union, highly
eolored and revised and corrected up
to the latest date. In addition to
these, each volume is embellished
with cuts and illustrations. The ty-
biographical work is of the best'charac.
ter, the volumes handsomely and
substantially bound. The enterprise
and public spirit to which the public
is indebted for this library Of informa-
ton deserves the fullest complement
of recognition and practical acknowl-
edgment. Recognizing the great adj
vantages Of this invaluable work of
