a MODERN INNOVATION.
That's what the "Americanized Ens
cyclop@dia Britannica" Is.
Throughout the English-speafin7
world the Encyclopaedia Britannica il
ranked the best, most sccurate and
reliable work in print. Nobody with
any pretsnsisns to literary judgments
will deny this statement.
There arc blemishes in diamonds
80 there are IN the Encyclopedia Bril-
tannica.
Ths ninth and latest edition of the
Encyclopedias Britannica, compiled
from Eve to twenty years ago, has be-
come out Of date, and on account OF
the rapidity OF events. especially In
the United States, IL has become as
work of reference comparatively old.
Gladstone states that the world has
made moro progress in the last hun
dred years than in all ths past ages.
Therefore the world demands not ga
encyclopedias that gives only the
history Of the past, but an encyclops-
dia that chronicles the mighty events
OF recsnt years.
That is just what the american
lied" Encyclopedias Britannica does.
What is this Americanized Encyclo-
pBdia Britannica? It is the Encycio-
psedia Britannica "Americanized,~
therefore unidentified, and brought
down to date, namely, 1890.

Americanized Encyclopaedia Britain

thousands OF others whose names Will

The Encyclopedias BritannicS no
doubt is a valuable work for the
dreamer, the theorist or the man Of
leisure who can devote plenty of time
Ia looking up such sbstruse subjects
as the infnitesimal calculus, the cata-
combs of Rome, or the dreamy tina

down to modern events, to use the
latest slang, ut is not in it"
According to it Encyclopedias Bri-
tannica), Albany, the capital of New
York State, is still sn overgrown town
of only 10000 or 30 inhabitants, Dem
yer Is still hamlet of 1900. while
Chicago is put down for the modest
population OF triie over 100000.
The spirit OF the age is to say what
IL to be said, in the least possible
words. We moderns do not want to
wade through fowery avenues OF
beautiful phrases, by which the En-
oycIopadia Britannica has been spun
out to the wearisome length Of twenty
four cumbersome volumes, but to gea
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" Encyclopaedia
Britannica condenses the information
given in che twenty-four volumes OF
the Encyclopedia Britannica into ten
solid, substantial volumes in which
every sentence bristles with invalua-
bic information, and In which you can
get at the meat of a subject without
wadiDg through forest Of words.
