Wllsy Sc limit i •* frying to Sell Inferior Cfcloptdlna Under FretnniM That Are ] Fnlae—“Diere Is No Vice Ho filmple but Assume* Homo Murk of Virtue In Ills Outward Furls.** Wo clip tho following from tho At lanta Constitution in tho hope that it will protect our readers against tho minrepresentutkmi of any unreliable book agent* who may approach them. Tho Constitution i* certainly doing an excellent work in tho way of encourag ing methods of homo education. And it hi to bo deplored that there are per sons no unscrupulous m to tako advan tage of tho groat interest which has thus been aroused and attempt to turn it to tbeir own personal gain. It would lw bad enough if they simply defrauded Tho Constitution of the right ful reword for its libera) educational enterprise, but what is worse, theso pretenders are palming ofT on an unsus pecting public nil sorts of inferior pub lications, at a prieo nearly sufficient to buy the genuine now edition of tho En cyclopaedia Britanniea, now offered at special introductiory rates by The Con stitution. Tho Constitution says: In Wednesday's Constitution the lead ing oditorlal was devoted to on expose of the Insidious attempt of the jute trust to deceive cotton shipper*. This brings ua to t!i ( * < ''ii -I'l'" ;i» ion of aunt Iht mat t»*r upon which tho public should bo informed. Believing that tho wide dissemination of the new edition of tho Encyclopncdiu Britanniea would be a lasting and. dadoed IwmsUt to the people of this section, a special introductory contract was secured from the Britanniea publishers wholly in the interest of our readers. Tho Consti tution is notin tho book ImsincHS for any profit on the sale*. It is not concerned, in a pecuniary sen ho, further Hum the legiti mate IncrrnM of the number of subscrib ers to tho dally and tho weekly Constitu tion. The knowledge of the educational good it is accomplishing through thin lib- eml olfer would alone fh» suflicieut recom pense for tho entire undertaking. Tills liberal enterprise of The Constitu tion low excited ili«s cupidity of certain persons who have other books to sell. Taking advantage of our methods for In troduction of Britanniea Into bouses not already provided, they seek to cunningly Impress prospective buyers that t hey can offer something 'practically tho saiuo” or "just na good.” This is deceptive, and wo wish our renders to understand that tho new edition of tlio Encyclopedia Britan nica In just off tho press; that it has never been offered to the public, before in any section of tho United States, and that ft can bo hnd only from Tho Constitution or Its authorized representatives. All others purporting to bo tho samo nro so present ed for tho purpose of deception. This is a matter to which The Constitu tion 1ms been slow to mnko reference, be cause \v« recognize the right of every man to advance his own pecuniary interests by Helling any books ho may hnvo or may bo able to obtnin. While no reference library ran be found ennui to tho new edition of tho Encyclopedia Britanniea, yet Tho Con stitution recognizes the fact tuat this docs not rendor other reference libraries value- Icon; hiuI there may !>o those who could not afford to puiclmw tho host even at tho exceptionally low introductory prieo now offered to Tho Constitution teuders. It would Ihj an undoubted blessing to ouch to obtain a rcforeiico library of any sort that would come wltldn their means, for all rrfomic-* hooka nro valuable aids to ward Helf-oducatlon. There can bo no objection, tberoforo, to other persona offering their hooka for sale anywhere and at any tlmo they see lit, so long iv* they routine themselves to the truth, and sell their hooka at proper prices, not attempting by deceptive methods, to obtain for their inferior works a prieo which would onable tho purchaser, hnd liq not been deceived, to obtain tho genu ine now edition of the Encylonacdia lirlt- tnnlcn. It would be nil well enough if those Inferior woiks were sold at a prieo proportionate, but thoRo who buy should underhtnud that they are not getting tho now edition, or any thing liko It.

SmioofthoHo itinerants have been so bold as to use language intended to lead buyers to taltovo that they were represon- tatIves of The Constitution. A little care, however, will uncover thl* mask, as every person who Is authorized to offer th« now edition of the Encyclopaedia llrltnnnica is provided with a totter of identification from The Constitution. If not provided with such a letter, which the buyer 1ms a right to soe, purchasers may know ho 1h not a representative of ThoConMitu- tlon, nor has be the geuulne new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britanniea for salo.
