AMERICANIZED.


That is the title the publishers have
given the work just issued from the
press under the name of the Amsri-
canized Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Americsnized is based on the
original and ninth edition of that
world-fsmed work, the Encyclopedia
Britannica. The points of difference
in the two works are: First, the Eng
glish edition, published all the way
from five to swenty years ago, has be-
come out Of date. The Americanized
Encyclopedia Britannica has brought
every subject treated of IN the original
work down to date, making it of moro
practical use to the American reader
who isinterested in American Subjects
than the English work itself, which,
being compiled by Englishnen for the
use Of Engiishmen, neglected Ameri-
can subjects, and in great many
cases did not mention them at all.
Second-The English edition does
not mention the name OF any living
persan, no matter how noted they
ore. The Americanizsd Encyclo-
paedis Britannica more than makes
this omission good by adding nearly
1900 new biographies of living men
and women; also including those rs
Gently deceased, whose names will be
handed down IN history.
70 illustrate the difference, the
English edition devoteB over six col
umns to an English county, and but
three-quarters Of a column to an
American State. The Americanized
Encyclopaedia Britannica reverses this
order by giving the six columns of
space to the American State and the
three-fourths of a column to the
English county.
You are more interested about
American matters than you are about
English, aren't you? Well, il you LOOK
up the English edition you will find
an exhaustive treatise on Birming-
ham, England, and when you look FOR
Birmingham, Alabama, an American
city of over 10000 population, the
English edition doesn't even mention
Is
Well, II seems that the Encyclo.
psdia Britannica should be AMER
1oAN1zED And that 10 just whaf
the publishers hare done. They hss
taken the Encyclopedia Britannica &c
pieces, az it were, and rsmodeled itSor
the American reader, the whole work
being brought down TO date.
