4 MODERN INNOVATION,

That's what the "Amsricanizsd En-
cyclop@dia Britannica" is.
Throughout the Englisb-speaking
world the Encyclopadia Britannica 10
ranked the best, most accurate ana
reliable work In print. Nobody with
any pretensiOns to literary judgments
will deny this statement
There are blemishes IN diamonds
30 there are in the Ensyclopedis Bril-
tannica.
The ninth and latest edition Of thu
Encyclopedia Britannica, compiled
from Eve to twenty years ago, has be-
come out Of date, and on account Of
the rapidity of events, especially in
.he United States, it has become as
swork Of reference comparatively old.
Gladstone states that the world has
made moro progress in the last hun
dred years than In all the past ages.
Therefore the world demands not an
encyclopaedia that gives only the
history Of the past, but an encyclop@-
dia that chronicles the mighty events
Of recent years.
That is just what the American
lied" Encyclopedias Britannica does.
What is this Amsricanized Encyclo-
p@dia Britannica It is the EDeyclo-
pmdia Britannica "Americanized.
therefore 1aodeTnfEsd, and brought
down to date, namely, 1890.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Kos
suth, Blaine, Cleveland, Henry Ward
Beecher, Jefferson Davis, Benjamin
Harrison, nor even General Ulysses
S. Grant; in fact, nothing Of the men
who lived in the past few years, whose
history is that Of the world. Tho
Americanized Encyclopedia Britain
MICA contains the biographies of nos
only the above great men, but also q
thousands Of Others whose names wiil
be handed down to posterity and cher
ished by iii as greas Cor all time to
come.
The Encyclopedias Britannica, COM
piled by Englishmen for the uss OF
Englishmen, sights American sub
jects; as an illustration, the EncyclO-
padia Britannica will tell you more
about aninsignifcant English borough
than a sovereign American State;
lengthy details about my Lord Tcn-
noddy, but sadly silent about Ethan
Allen, whose acts as leader of tho
Green Mountain Boys in capturing
the first fort (Ticonderoga) from the
British in the War for Independence
| placed him in the front rank Of liber-
tvs heroes.
The Encyclopedia Britannica no
doubt is a valuable work for tho
dreamer, the theorist or the man OF
leisure who can devote plenty Of time
In looking up such abstruse subjects
as the infnitesimsl calculus, the cata-
combs of Rome, or the dreamy time
before the food, but when it comes
down to modern events, to use tho
latest slang, sit is not in it."
According to it Encyclopedias Bri.
tannics), Albany, the capital of New
York State. is still an overgrown town
of only 10000 or SO inhabitants, Dem
yer is still hamlet Of 1900, while
Chicago is put down for the modest
population Of triae over 100000.
The spirit Of the age is TO say what
is to be said, in the least possible
words. We moderns do not want to
wade through howery avenues OF
beautiful phrases, by which the Enc
cycIop@dia Britannica has been spun
out to the wearisome length OF tWentJs
four cumbersome volumes, but to geb
at the wheat Of the subject at once,
disposing Of useless and meaningless
words to the idle dreamer, or the four
winds Of heaven.
The "Anaericanized" Encyclopaedia
Britannica condenses the information
given in the twenty-four volumes Of
the Encyclopedia Britannica into ten
solid, substantial volumes in which
every sentence bristles with invalus-
BILE information, and 10 which You can
get at the meat Of subject without
wading through forest of words.
