a MODERN INNOVATION.


That's what the sAmericanized En-
cyclopBdia Britannica" is.
Throughout the English-sr<aking
world the Encyclopedias Britannica is
ranked the best, most accurate and
reliable work in print. Nobody with
any pretensions to literary Judgment
viii deny this statement
There are blennishes in diamonds
so there are ia the Encyclopedias Bri-
tsnnica.
The ninth and latest edition Of the
Encyclopedias 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come out of date, and on account of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 more progress in the last hun
dred years than in oil the past ages.
Therefore the world demands net an
encyclopedias that gives only the
history OF tbs pest, but an encyclopa-
dia that chronicles the mighty events
of recent years.
That ie just what the american
Ized" Encyclopedias Britannica does.
What is this Americsnized Encyclo-
padia Britannica? It is tine Eneyclo-
p@dia Britannica "Amerieanized,"
therefore modernized, 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 chat Of the world The
Amerieanized Encyclopedias Britain
MICA contains the biographies of not
only the above great men, but also Of
thousands Of others whose names will
be handed down to posterity and cher
ished by i'll as great for all time to
come.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica, CON-
piled by Englishmen for the use Of
Englishmen, sights American SUBJ
jects; as an illustration, the Eneyclo-
padSa Britannica will tell you moro
aboutan insignificant English borough
than q 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 (Ticondsrogg) from the
British in the War for Independence
placed him in the front rank of liber-
TVS heroes.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica no
doubt is valuable work for the
dreamer, the theorist or the man Of
leisure who can devote plenty Of time
IN looking up such abstrRse subjects
as the infnitesirnal calculus, the cats-
combs Of Rome, OF the dreamy time
before the food, but when It comes
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 an overgrown town
of only rocco or go inhabitants, Den
yer is still a hamlet of 1900, while
Chicago is put down for She modest
population OF tYife over 100000.
The spirit Of the ago is to say what
Is to be said, in the least possible
words. We moderns do not want to
wade through foweFy avenues Of
beautiful phrases, by which the En-
cyclop@dia Britannica has been spun
out to the wsarisome length of twenty
four cumbersome volumes, but to ges
at the wheat Of the subject at once,
disposing of useless and meaningless
words to the idle dreamer, OF the four
winds Of heaven.
The "Amsricanized" Encyclopedia
Britannica condenses the information
given in the twsnty-four volumes Of
the Encyclopedias Britannica into ten
solid, substantial volumes in which
every sentence bristles with in7slua-
BILE information, and In which you can
get et the meat Of subject without
wading through forest of words.
