a MODERN INNOVATION.

That's what the "Amsricanized Ens
CyclopBdia Britannica" il.
Throughout the English-speakino
world the Encyclopedias Britannica il
ranked the best, MOST sccurats ana
reliable work in print. Nobody with
nny pretensions to literary judgments
will deny this statement.
There are blsmishes in diamonds
30 there are in the Encyclopedias Bril-
tannica.
The ninth and latest edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica, compiled
from five to twenty years ago, has be-
come out Of date, and on account OF
the rapidity of events. especially in
The United States, it has become as
awork of reference comparatively old.
Gladstone states that the world has
made moro progress IN the last hum
dred years than in all the past ages.
Therefore the world demands not an
encyclopedias that gives only the
history of the past, but an encyclopm-
dis that chronicles the mighty events
OF recent yoars.
That is just what the american.
lied" Encyclopedias Britannica does.
What is this Americanized EncycIo-
pRdia Britannica? It is the Encyclo-
p@diR Britannica "Americanized,s
therefore modeTniSed, and broughb
down to date, namely, 1880.
The Encyclopedias Britannica says
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Kos
suth, Blaine, Cleveland, Henry Ward
Beeoher, 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. The
Americanizsd Encyclopedias Britain
MICA contains the biographies of nos
only the above great men, but also Of
thousands of others whose names will
be handed down to posterity and cher
ished by it; as gress for all time to
come.
The Encyclopedia Britannica, com.
piled by Englishmen for the use Of
Englishmen, sights American SUBJ
jects; as an illustration, the Encyclo-
pedis Britannica will tell you more
about an Insignificant English borough
than a sovereign American State;
lengthy details about my Lord Tom
noddy, but sadly silent about Ethan
Allen, whose acts as leader of the
Green Mountain Boys in capturing
the first fort CTioonderoga) from the
British IL the War for Independence
placed him in the front rank Of hber-
TVS heroes.
The Encyclopedias Britannica no
doubt is e valuable work for the
dreamer, the theorist or the man OF
leisure who can devote plenty of time
In looking up such sbstruse 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 the
latest slang, st is not in it."
According to it Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica), Albany, the capital of New
York State, is still an overgrown town
OF only 10000 or 30 inhabitants, Dem
YER is still a hamlet of 1900, while
Chicago is put down for the modess
population Of tribe over 100000.
The spirit Of the age is to say what
Is to be said, in the least possible
words. We modsrns do not want to
wade through fowery avenues Of
beautiful phrases, by which the En-
cyclopedia Britannica has been spun
out to the weariEome length Of twenty
four cumbersome volumes, but to get
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 "Americanized" Encyclopedia
Britannica condenses the information
given in the twenty-four volumes OK
the Encyclopedia Britannica into ten
solid, substantial volumes IN which
every sentence bristles with invalua-
BILE information, and in which you can
get at the meat Of subject without
wadiDg through q forest of words.
