trary IN Itself
The Scrlbuar edition Of the Encyclopedia
Britannica has been in my library some
years. I have found IL accurate and re-
liable and fully illustrated.
The edition offered by TIE TRIBUNE is
not abridged, but in matter Of fact, the
same work on good paper and substan-
TALLY bound, besides having the additions
and revisions. American articles and maps
uD TO date. The additions are 10 the back
Of each volume and give the latest data on
statistics, together with history, science
aud biography Of living men, thus render
ing the work more desirable and practical
as a book Of reference than the original
That this work can be sold for 81 g5 per
volume seems almost incredible, as | paid
g. per volume, or 1925 for mine, bound in

This is the age Of books Learning is so
broad and books are so numerous that 1t
Is impossible for any one TO procure sepa-
rate volumes upon ali the subjects which
at present engage human thought. In
place Of this, good Encyclopedia is IN at

limit Of our comprehension. After some
what careful study Of three or four Of the
principal Encyclopedias affirm without
tesitancy that the Britannica has no
superior. Readers OF all classes should
EOssess 1t.

Progress in boOk-makng for the multi
