here the publishers had what the Rev.
Chas. F. Aked called IAN inspiration
of genius"
India paper, Used for Bibles. Why
not for other big and good books
thin. light, strong and opaque-this
thought was put into instant action.
and the result was twenty-eight
volumes weighing less than one-third
the ordinary paper and taking only
twenty nine inches OF shelf room.
With the advent OF this new form.
the Cambridge edition of the Eneyclo-
paedia Britannica came into its own
at leap. 1t was now convenient and
attractive as wen as necessary and
valuable.
The price still kept 1t in the class
of luxuries but the sales were beyond
the dreams of its producers. and they
were not satisfied
Here was the most desirable refer
ence work In the world. work neces-
sary to the man who is climbing, and
the price was fitted to the man who
had reached the high places. All
wrong! The price must be brought
within the means Of every one.
Solution of the Problem.
The idea of the Britannica at a pop
ular price was a second Inspiration of
genius. but how to do it? The con-
tents must not be reduced by word or
letter, the maps and illustrations must
all be retained. The size might be re-
duced, but the excellence of workman
ship and binding must be maintained
or II wouldn't be the Britannica.
There was one sure solution OF the
problem, the typical American answer
to every such question. Increase the
quantity produced to such an extent
that the expense of production per
volume would be trifling. and the saw
ing in price of material and labor in
cident TO the buvinP of great quanti-
ties might be effected.
Reduce the pIOI per set, make II up
on the greater number OF sets sold
Reduce the cost Of advertising per set
by selling at a price that would let every
body buy who reads the advertisements.
These are the typical American ways of
getting to a lower price-and these ways
the publishers of the Britannica have
APPLIED.
Another American Answer.
The one remaining problem was sales.
Great production demands great distribu-
ton. Who was best equipped to dis
tribute the Handy Volume Popular priced
Britannica. Here. again, was found a
typical American answer.
Sears Roebuck & Co., with their mail
ing list of four million names, with their
established reputation for honesty and
fair-dealing and with their catalogues
going to every home in the union on
request, needed the best reference work
published: one that they might offer their
customers with entire confidence and al
price that would appeal to everybody
The Encyclopaedia Britannica Corpora
ton needed just such a distributor. So
each supplying the need Of the other, the
great publishers Joined hands with the
great distributors to place before the
world miracle in publishing, and the
result justihes the inspiration.

! attest Chapter in | history Of
Encyclopaedia Britannica

visit to one of the great bookbinders
OF Chicago dscloses a fact that will be
OF interest to many of the readers of
The Herald. and that ought to be OF
interest to them all. This fact is the
reproduction OF the famous Encyclopedias
Britannica in size which the makers
speak OF as a handy volume. and at a
price which makes it possible for even
editors-proverbiaiiy impecunious-so
possess set and to gloat over those
less fortunate or less provident.
AT the risk Of betraying one of the basic
secrets OF the newspaper profession-the
editors infailibility In answering uues-
tions of fact-we admit that we have
long harbored the desire to own set
of the Britannica and have been, many
times, tempted to reduce our consumption
OF cigars and other editorial necessities
to the end that we might be possessed
OF the more enduring and substantial
delight to the eye and enrichment to the
mind included in those greatly-to-be-de-
sired volumes.
Behold. now. how ''all things come to
him who waits" While we were plot.
ting how to bring our purse TO the Britain.
Mica, the publishers were plotting how
to bring the Britannica 10 our purse and
to yours, and the result of their plotting
and the process of its Accomplishment
might serve as typical illustration OF
the American spirit.
Three Volumes In 176s.
The Brlttanica was conceived In
Great Britain in 1868. and first saw the
light In three volumes which contain
ed more Information about more sub
Jects than most of the public libraries
of that day. From time to time the
work was re-published, each new
edition complete history of the world
OF facts, always with the most graphic
accuracy. The contributors were then,
as they have been throughout the CEN
tury and half of its existence, and
as they are today, the great among
scientists. artists. writers, doctors,
lawyers, clergymen, engineers and
other useful workers. These trained
students culled the best of all that
had been produced by their brilliant
army of contemporaries and predeces.
sors and crystalized it into the Ency-
elopedis Britannica there to remain. a
never ending mine of knowledge, sub
ject to and adequate to the needs of
every man and woman, every boy and
girl who might desire to know.
The scope of the Brittanica is so
broad that the work grew not only to
be library in itself. but to require
the housing of library, and because
the makers would not tolerate any
cheapening of contents or material or
workmanship. the cost was necessarily
high, and the volumes were cumber-
some.
Eleventh Edition in 1910.
In 1910 the eleventh edition OF the
Brittanica was brought out by the
University Press, at Cambridge, Eng
land. in 2s volumes, which weighed q
total of 24O pounds and occupied I
feet of shelf space. 1t was instantly
evident that the sheer bulk of the
