The New Peoples CycIopedIa.

This is the most practical and pop
ular cyclopedia in the English Ian
guage. More copies of it are sold
yearly than of all other cyclopedias.
1t is American and to date. Tele-
graphic style is used, condensing two
ordinary volumes into one. 1t has
200 beautiful fresh maps, 5000 Illus
trations, 10000 topics and 400
pages of invaluable tables. 1t is a
great favorite with teachers. 1t can
be carried with them, saves many
other books of reference and comes
within their means; and the agent,
Rev. G. F. Morse, who has sold to
more than l 900 teachers, gives them
special rates and time when desired.
