M We adopted an original, liberal and
wholly unique plan to introduce it.
The publishers believe, and with much
reason, that few sets of the dictionary
scattered here and there in cultured
homes will create widespread comment,
because of the easily apparent superiority
of the book when compared with Others

standard.
The New Encyclopaedia is in four large
quarto volumes of over 5000 pages, en-
bellished with numerous explanatory IL
Illustrations, many full-pag colored plates
and many reproductions from photo

barD college in 1894. He adopted the
law as a profession and having been
admitted to the bar In 1887. opened an
Office at Warsaw, N. Y, In 1S41. The
only public office the Judge held In New
York was that of district attorney Of
Wyoming county. He early became in
terested in politics.
Strongly Opposed to Slavery.

himself in a whig district. Yielding to
the pressure of many friends he ran
as the Democratic candidate for circuit
Judge in 1852 and was elected. He re-
signed i'm 1856 and devoted his time to
the law. He was strongly opposed TO
slavery. In 1914 he supported Polk over
Clay for president, but In 1S47 he intro
duced into the Democratic convention
the famous cornerstone" resolution
upon which the Free Soil party was
formed i'm New York, and i'm 1S4S he fol-
lowed the fortunes of Martin Van Blu
rem, the Free Soil candidate. He sup
ported Franklin Pierce in 1852.
The repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise which followed Pierce's election
and the position assumed by stephen
A. Douglas toward the admission of
Kansas and Nebraska operated to drive
nti-slavery Democrats out of the par
ty. Thus Judge Doollttle became one
ofthe founders of the Republican party.
He was elected to the United states
senate as a Republican from Wiscon-
sin, Jan 2S. 1857.
