That's what the "Amerioanizsd Ens
syclopedia Britannica" L.
Throughout the English-speakins
world the Encyclopedias Britannica il
ranked the best. most accurate and
reliable work In print. Nobody with
any pretensicns to literary Judgment
viii deny this statement.
There are bIenishes In diamonds
so there are in the Encyclopedias Bri.
tannics.
The ninth and latest edition OF the
Encyclopedia Britannica, compiled
from five to twenty years ago, has be.
come out Of date, and on account OK
the rapidity of events, especially In
the United States, it has become as
swork Of reference comparatively old.
Gladstone states that the world has
made more progress In the last hun.
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 encyclopa-
aia that chronicles the mighty events
Of recent years.
That ia just what the "Americsn.
lied" Encyclopedias Britannica does.

The Encyclopedias Britsnnfca says
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Kos
auth, Blaine, Cleveland, Henry Ward
Beeoher, Jefferson Davis, Benjamin
Harrison, nor even General Ulysses
s. Grant; in fact, nothing Of tho men
who lived IN tho past few years, whose
history is that of the world. The
Americanized Encyclopedias Brian
MICA contains the biographies Of nok
only the above great men, but also %
thousands Of othars whose names wiN
be handed down to posterity and cher.
ished by it as greas Tor all time to
come.
The Encyclopedias Britannica, com
piled by Englishmsn for the use OF
Enghshmen, sights American sub-
iects; as an illustration, the EncyclOs
pmdia Britannica viii 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
She 6rst fort CTiconderogs) from tbs
British in the War for Independence
placed hira in the front rank OF ibsr.
ty's heroes.
The Encyclopedia Britannica no
doubt is a valuable work for the
dreamer, the thsorist OF the man Of
leisure who Gan devote plenty Of time
In looking up such abstruss subjects
rs the infnitesimal calculus, The csta-
combs Of Rome, or the dreamy time
before the food, but when it comes
down to modern events, to use ths
latest slang, SIT is not in it"
According to it Encyclopedias Brs,
sannica), Albany, the capital of New
York State, is still an ovsrgrown town
of only 10000 or SO inhabitants, Den
yer is still hamlet of 1900, while
Chicago is put down for the modess
population Of tribe over 100000.
The spirit OF the age is to say vhst
"a to be said, in the least possible
words. We u1odsrns do not want to
wade through howery avenues %
beautiful phrases, by which the En-
cyclopadia Britannica has been spun
out to the wearisome length of twenty
four cumbersome volumes, but to gsa
at the wheat Of the subject at once,
disposing Of useless and meaningless
words to the idle dreamer, or the four
winds of heaven.
1Ihe "Americdnized" Encyclopedias
Britannica condenses the information
given in the twenty-four volumes OF
the Encyclopaedia Britannica into ten
cold. Substantial volumes in which
every sentence bristles with invalus-
bic information, and in which you can
get at the meat Of subject without
FadiDg through q forest Of words.
