biography, which the original did not. Its
addenda in the back of each book, Of the

work of It's kind in existence. 1t contains
a library in itself of unquestioned author
ity and scholarship. l have examined the
journal edition and find it to be genu-
inc reproduction of the real Britannica
with American revisions and additions
bringing the work up to its present date
1t is an excellent piece of workmanship
in paper, printing in binding, and with
its greatly improved maps and extensive
additions is In some respects superior to
the original edition; and best of ALL it is
now offered at such terms as will bring it
within the reach of all
