That's what the "Americanized ED-
cyclop@dia Britannica" is.
Throughout the English-sreaking
world the Encyclopedias Britannica is
ranked tho best, most accurate and
reliable work IL print. Nobody with
any pretensions to literary Judgment
will deny this statement.
There are blsmishss in diamonds
SO there are in the Encyclopedis BTi-
tannica.
The ninth and latest edition Of the
Encyclopedias Britannica, complied
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come out Of date, and On account Of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
a work 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
encyclopaedia that gives only the
history of the past, but an encyclope-
dia that chronicles the mighty events
of recent years.
That il just what the american.
Ized" Encyclopedias Britannica doss.
What is this Americanizsd Encyclo-
p@dis Britannica? It is the EncyclO-
p@dis Britannica "Anericanized,"
therefore mOdernized, and brought
down to date, namely, 1890.
The Encyclopedias Britannica ssya
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Hos
suth, Blaine, Cleveland, Henry Ward
Beecher, Jefferson Davis, Bsnjsmin
Harrison, nor even General Ulysses
s. Grant; In fact, nothing Of the men
who lived in The past few years, whose
history is that Of the w0rld. The
Americanizsd Encyclopedias BEitan-
MICA contains the biographies Of not
only the above great nasn, but also OF
thousands of others whose names will
be handed down to posterity and cher
ished by III as great for all time to
come.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica No
doubt il valuable work Tor the
dreamer, the theorist or the man Of
leisure who can devote plenty Of time
IA looking up such abstFuse subjects
as the inhnitesimal calculus, the cata-
combs of Rome, or the dreamy time
before the food, but when it comes
down to modern events, to use the
latest slang, SIT is not in it.
According to it Encyclopedias Bril-
tannica), Albany, the capital of New
York Stete, Is still an overgrown town
of only 10000 or so inhabitants, Dem
YER is still a hamlet OF 1900, while
Chicago is put down Tor the modest
population OF triAe over 100000
The spirit of the age is to Soy what
Is to be said, in the least possible
words. We moderns do not want to
wade through Aowery avenues OF
beautiful phrases, by which the En-
cyclop@dia Britannica has been spun
out to the waarisous length OF twenty
four oumbersome volumes, but to ge5
at the wheat Of tho subject at once,
disposing of useless and meaningless
words to the idle dreamer, or the four
winds of heaven.
The "AnsericaDized" Encyclopedias
Britannica condenses the information
given in the twsnty-four volumes OF
the Encyclopedias Britannica into ten
solid, substantial volumes in which
every sentence bristlss with invslua-
bic information, and In WATCH you caA
get at the meat Of subjsct without
wading through fosest Of words.
