Throughout the EngEsb-speakinR

The ninth and latest edition OF tho
Encyclopedia Britannica, compiled
from five to twenty years ego, has be-
come out Of date, and on account OF
the rapidity OF events, especially IN
ths United States, it has become as
work Of reference comparatively old.
Gladstone states that the world has
made moro progress IL the last hun
drsd years than in all the past ages.
Therefore the world demands not an
encyclopaedia that gives only tho
history of the past, but an sncyclopa-

Of recent years.
That is just what the American

The Encyclopaedia Britannica says
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Kos

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

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 fowery avenues %
