1 cannot Indorse it too highly."
Amoa Fox, Postmaster, Atlanta, says: “The
new Encyclopedia Britannica is the most useful work for
all general infermatlon that can possibly be put in tbe

Neal Dow, the great temperance reformer,
Portland, Maine, writes: “I want the new Britannica though

are so completely covered with bookcases that 1 cannot find
a place for it without turning other books out.*'
A. D. Candler, Secretary of State of Geor

of its kind published in the English language."
Benj. F. Carter, Secretary of Agriculture,
Atlanta, says: “I know of no work of this character so
complete in every branch of historical, practical and scien
tific information. As a book, or rather library, of reference
it is invaluable.’
George F. Payne, F. C. S., State Chemist,
Atlanta, says: “Tbe Encyclopedia Britannica is so well
known and esteemed by all educated English speaking peo
ple that additional testimonials would almost seem lower
less to add greater emphasis to what baa already been said in
its praise.”
Park Morrill, Forecast Official U. S. Weather
Bureau, Atlanta, says: “ I take it that there can be no two
opinions as to the worth of the new Encyclopedia Britan,
niea as a repository of standard information ou almost every
subject, prepared, as its articles are, by specialists of world
wide reputation. In tbe field of meteorology it is quoted as
authority.”
Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller General of
Georgia, says : •• I am of the opinion that Ifr.e new edition of
the Encylopsedfa Britannica Is the beat collection of all kinds
of reliable data that has ever been published, and that its
general introduction in Georgia means much.’’
C. B. Satterlee, Inspector-General of Georgia,
says: “In my opinion, based on casual reading and investi

au anti orita ive character extant, and within comparatively
easy reach of toe public.”
James M. Couper, First Assistant Postmas

encyclopedia published in the English Language, undone
of the most useful works of reference a man can have.”
John D. Stocker, Surveyor of Customs, of

D. N. Sanders, Secretary Georgia Farm

good library Is just as essential to the highest happiness of
tbe children as a good larder. The new edition of the En

the market. It is, in truth, a librarj- in one set of books. I
use it, our prof; ssors use it, and all our s udeuta use it. It

Thomas Peters, Life Insurance, Atlanta,
says: “Itis an indispensable handbook for the dally use
of the merchant, the artisan and the professional man. Ex

well be without telephone and typewriter as not to have an
Encyclopajdia ready at hand in office or workshop.”
1. N. Steelman, Missionary, Orizaba, Mex

so quickly. I have now one of the very few sets of Encyclo

knowledge my set is the best tn Mexico. I have now fire

without Britannica all this time because 1 was obliged to do

Rabbi Henry Cohen, Congregation B’nai

contains all the element! of a working reference library--
sufficient for the literary needs of non professional men and
indispensable to professional men.”

ing foot-notes of correction here and there throughout the work.
Under this guise a few more xste of this work were sold, but the
public were not slow to discover that the ’* Sominerville Edition”
was simply a new name for
An Old and Rejected Work.
Following the Stoddard reprint there were two photographic
reprints: the Allen reprint and thr first Peale reprint (no longer
on the market), but as the process of photographic reproductioi
was then in its Infancy these editions were but slight improve
ments over the unleaded Stoddard edition, for while the repro
duction had the appearance of leaded type the pages had a slight
ly blurred effect. Yet, in spite of thts objection, both s>f theso
editions enjoyed quite a wide popularity in their time, because
the public understood thAt there could be no question as to the
accuracy of a work reprMuced by a photographic process.
But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopedic world that will

knowledge of printing finds it Impossible to distinguish them

Inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that th*
Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre
viously issued from tha press, was yet not infallible, and wbila
it has always been a matter of amaxement among book-lovers
that so voluminous a work as tha Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet alt acknowledged that
here and there errors of a pronounced character had found their
way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore every
publisher who undertook to place a new edition of this great
work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise
with
A Sort off Superstitious Awe,
viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, ’he Edin
burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least,
the Southern States have shone only by reflected light." and
that " mainly by their connection with the North, the Carolinas
have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles," the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite
in contrast with their usual independent thought, have repro
duced this slanderous statement verbatim, because, forsooth,
one of the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has
said it, and, therefore, rt must be true. In preparing this new
edition no good reason could be .found why the errors of the
Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or

from Eminent Men
of Georgia,
CONCERNING THE New Edition
of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica and the
remarkable Introductory Offer
OF THE
Atlanta Consthtutbon.
THE general dist’ibution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
ninth edition, hrs enabled the public to take the measure
of this- incomparable work and place it in contrast with
other cyclopn-dras. The result has been to establish beyond
question its unqualified superiority. It is a giant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work In all literature : the one
only adequate representative ot tbe advanced thought and
scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopaedia In which
each, subject is treated by an acknowledged authority upon that
subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on
Mterary tabor as tbe Britannica. No other can show a list of
principal contributors, either so eminent in their departments of
scholarship, or varied In nativaalrtv and profession, or so.
numerous. The full list ot coaubutors numbers more than two
thousand persons, aud includes tbe most eminent literary and
scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard, incomparably the best and most de
sirable cyclopedia in existence, its high cost has heretofore
placed it beyond tbe reach of the majority. The English edition,
is sold in this country at SAoo per volume, and the Scribner
edition at Ss.oo per volume, making the cost of the set, In.sj
volumes, flora to Saoo.oo in cloth binding.
Some Cheap Editions
1 have been printed In America, but their incompleteness andt
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
libraries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard) reprint.
This reprint never became popular with the American people,
partly because of its small type, which was set without leads be
tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi
pal reason for its disfavor among the American people was the
♦act of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wron£
exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date wight serve only
to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes
of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the
accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable
where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no
technical knowledge of the subject in hand.
Another reason why the Stoddard reprint never became popu
lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams,
plans, etc., no thought was given to the need of retaining
a proportionate scale of measurement, and the printers, who had
no other object in view than the general appearance of the page,
altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small
