WHAT THEY SAY OF II.

Augusta, Maine, June 6, 1895.
am glad to say that in my opinion the
Encyclopedia Britannica Is the king of all
Cyclopedias and although think every
ono should have an American Cyclopedia.
yet the Britannica is now within the
reach of all, and will greatly enrich the
stock OF knowledge one may have in anv
other form. Rev. G. S. Cummings.
The offer by the Journal of the Ency.
clopedia Britannica shows that it is to be
sold now for such low price as to aston
ism one. 1t is the standard Encyclopedia
OF the whole world. No other is of such
high authority or SO frequently quoted.
ms Is chance to get library for al
most nothing, considering the great value
OF the work, and the amount Of informa.
ton upon all subjects which it contains.

l am most happy to endorse the Enc5.
clopedia Britannica, which indeed needs
no endorsement. 1t is an institution of
Itself, veritable library, and now seems
to come within the means of all who de-
sire such work. Howard Owen,
Register Probate.
I consider the Encyclopedia Britannia a
the best Encyclopedia on the market today.

The Encyclopedias Britannica is recog-
nized by scholars as the foremost work of
its class, for fulness of description 1t is
unrivaled. have owned and used the
Britannica for several years, and value it
highly. DR.. L. J. Croker.

To the Journal-The Encyclopedia
Britannica is too well known to need any
words of commentator from me. With
the supplemental revision contained in
each volume of the journal edition, the
value and efficiency of this work must be
very much enhanced, while the price Is
reduced to less than half that of the
original edition. The prize or premium
offered with the Encyclopedia cannot
fail to be great help to those engaged in
self instruction and development. The
privilege of asking questions and the as
surance of having them satisfactorily
answered is of more value to the student
than many times the price of the books
themselves The courses of study which
prepare for it's members, cannot fail to be
of great value to any one struggling for an
education. l.. ID. Carver,
State Librarian.
To recommend the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica seems entirely unnecessary. 1t
has always been recognized as standard
Brought down to date with the accuracy
and comprehensiveness of the original edi-
ton, 1t will form an invaluable addition
to any library
To obtain the most from course of
study it is necessary that there be definite,
logical arrangement of studies and sn
opportunity to obtain information en-
questions that may arise. Both of thes e
requisites seem to be afforded by the Hon c
University League with the added advan-
tage that the work can be done at home.
