Hon. W. J. Northen, Governor of Georgia, “ ys :“It is a wonderful collection of useful information. 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 haiuifl of the people.” Neal Dow, the great temperance reformer, Portland, Maine, writes: “I want the new Britannica though I have now three encyclopatdiaa, and the walls of my library 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 ga, says: “The best and most reliable book of reference 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 gation, it is the best compendium of general information of au anti orita ive character extant, and within comparatively easy reach of toe public.” James M. Couper, First Assistant Postmas ter, Atlants, says: “ I regard the new Britannica as toe best 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 Atlanta, says: “ I have known the Encyclopaedia Britantrea for several years. It ia <-n extraordinary work and every man and his family should have it for daily refeienoe for tbe knowledge contained therein.” D. N. Sanders, Secretary Georgia Farm ers’ Alliance, says: “An examination of the new En cyclo; aedia Britannica shows the book well up to date ou all topics. It will be of great value to all who have not ready access to large and complete libraries.” AS THINK THESE, SO THINKSTHE WHOLE INTELLIGENT WORLD.

Edinburgh edit on was omitted or altered except where the original Edinburgh edition was Foutmd to Ibe in Error. In a few instances the articles (twenty-eight in all) were entirely rewritten, bringing them In line with more recent knowledge, but in all other instances tbe text of the original is reproduced verbatim et literatim with supplementary information of later date appended. The maps, also, were In nearly all cases supplan’-f by new and later ones, which ware produced especially for this work at a cost of $50,000. From a literary standpoint, therefore, the new edition equals In every point, and excels in many points, all previous editions of the hi cyclopedia Britannica. From a mechanical standpoint, also, tha new edition is Striking'/ Superior to anything that has been presented to the public. The print is large an.! clear, t’ e engravings are specimens nt the highest art, the margins ar • wide, the paper is of a tine an* compact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used in an? previous edition, yet avoids all transparency, and therefore gives every advantage of the former larg<* and clumsv volumes, while it is much more compact and convenient to handle. Tbe binding is also superior to anv former edition, being male with a double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any othei binding, and permits the pages to open out flat. In preparing this new edition for publication The Atlanta Constitution was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms an’ corrections, and it takes a just pride in the fact that it played an Important part in giving the public an edition which possesses all the virtue of the former editions, but has corrected ti slan derous and untruthful reflections against the people of ’he South. It is partlv as a recompense for these services that the publish ers of the new edition have granted a contract to Tun CONSII TUTION whereby its subscribers can obtain this great "home educator‘s for a limited time at remark.aly low introductory prices, and upon terms so easy that It is within the reach of the humblest citixen. It should be remembered, nowevar, that this is simply a plur adopted by the Britannica publishers to get this new edition be fore the public, and whan that has been sufficiently accomplishes regular prices will be resumed, and then CONSTITUTION sub acribers, like all others, will have to pay full retail price for the work. By ordering now you will save from s2l to $55 on the price of the books, besides paying for them at such an easy rate that you will scarcely realixe any outlay.— The Atlanta Constitution. Read Public Opinion Concerning Our Educatiohal Enterprise. The Franklin Printing and Publishing Co . Geo. W. Harrison, General Mahaeer, Atlanta, says: “The new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is the eeo nomic history of the world condensed, and so clearly ami lucidly presented that it explains itself and is easily tin deratood. In the arrangement and treatment of the varien of subjects contained in the 28 volumes it is admirable, »nd the practical knowledge and instruction in Its pages com mend it to the general reader as well us tbe student. Tue Encyclopaedia Brilanuica is one of the best investments teat can be made.” The Entire Intelligent World is Agreed that Britannica has no peer. Professor J. C. Chilton, President Texas Normal College, says: “ Good books in a h >me are an index of theeulture of the family: It is n we 1 established principle that ’the mind grows upon what it feeds.’ When a num iuu filled the kitchen and cellar with provisions for hischildren, he has only gotten half through--he has done as much for his horses. He must next provide food for the mind. A good library Is just as essential to the highest happiness of tbe children as a good larder. The new edition of the En cyclopedia Britannica is the best work of tbe kind now on 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 ought to be in every home.” Thomas Peters, Life Insurance, Atlanta, says: “Itis an indispensable handbook for the dally use of the merchant, the artisan and the professional man. Ex haustive and comprehensive, scholarly and yet adapted to the understanding of the man of business who has no time for tvchuiealities—a single item may furnish information to -repay the entire expenditure. In these days, one may as 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 ico, writes: “ I am surprised that the books came through so quickly. I have now one of the very few sets of Encyclo pedia Britannica tn this country, and to the best of my knowledge my set is the best tn Mexico. I have now fire hundred well-chosen volumes in my library. I have done without Britannica all this time because 1 was obliged to do without it. The minor cyclopedias have their good use aud place, but they fail utterly as a substitute for Britannica ” Rabbi Henry Cohen, Congregation B’nai Israel, Galveston, says: “The Encyclopaedia Britannica contains all the element! of a working reference library-- sufficient for the literary needs of non professional men and indispensable to professional men.” Professor David Swing, Chicago, says : “It is the king of its tribe.” Mrs. W. H. Felton, Chairman Executive Commlitee Woman’s Department Cotton States and Inter national Exposition, says. "I am highly pleased with the new edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, with its new maps aud original American articles, fori re_..rd a first-class eneyc'opiedia as invaluable to a family—whether composed of youths or adults. This edition is eminent’)- satisfactory snd certainly comprehensive; it reaches up to date, gives a tine statement of Georgia's resources, aud an exhaustive re cital of the Columbian Exposition.” R. T. Dcrscy Attorney, Atlanta, says: “I have been using the Encyclopsedla Britannica for several years; it is a work brimful of useful and accurate informa tion. 1 regard it as the most valuable library.” E L. Mathews, General Secretary, of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of Atlanta, says: “ It Is a mine of information upon every subject and an Invalua ble possession to any one, no matter what his profession may be. Tbe information upon the Bible and Biblical sub jects is such that every Christian worker and Bible student ■hould have access to it." to suit their convenience In arranging the pages. The result was, that although a considerable number of these sets were sold, the enterprise Never Became a Real Success and the old plates were finally sold or rented to Maxwell Som mervjile. who attempted to make the edition acceptable by add 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 not recognize an edition which is mere/y a reprint. A New Edition of the grea’ Encyclopedia Britannica has entereJ the field, be fore which the original Edinburgh Edition Itself Is compelled to retire. Taking advantage of recent Improvements in the ait of reproduction, tha pages of tbe original have been duplicated la such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical knowledge of printing finds it Impossible to distinguish them from type-set page«. Bui it was not enough to publish an edi tion that was simply as good at the original; a few years of 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 letter or subscript or exponent that appeared in the original j ■.'ve- "Tram Clergymen are Among the most Compe- h| tent Encyclopaedia Critics. Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says : •• The Encycloptedia Britannica is the only book I know oi which never disappoints one seeking information. It is 0:1 this account necessary to every complete man, and the authorities being generally most n liable, one does not fear to appeal to this handbook of knowledge.” Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the M. E. Church of Georgia, says: " I prefer the Britannica to any Encyclopaedia.” Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, D.D., Pastor Ist Baptist Church. Atlanta, says: “ I haye used ihe Britannica for many years,and findjt absolutely indispensable, lean most cheerfully eommeud it to the public.” Rev. Walker Lewis Trinity Methodist Church, Atlanta, says: “ I regard the Kncycloptediaßritan nica as the best in print. It is of immense rnwge in its topics, covering almost every subject of imporfance to the people. A compend of art. biography, social ano secular literature, it is itself a library of uo smaM dimen sions. The articles have been prepared by the best thinker* of the age.

Henry McDonald, D.D., Second BAp tist Church, Atlanta, says: “I have used the Ency clopa:'l in Britannica for years, and the information for which you vainly search elsewhere is sure to be found in its carefully prepared volumes. It should be found in the library il only for Its time-saving qualities. ” Father P. A. Connelly writes: “ The merits of this admirable work are such as to give mo gfeat pleasure in recommending it to all.” Father J. O’Shanahan, S. J., President St. Mary’s University, Galveston, says: “ The Encyclopse lia Britannica is a mine of general information and a library In Itself. We recommend it to all who may tie. d the • ->-i complete work of general reference published in modern times.” Dr. J. Bloch, Rabbi Congregation Beth. Israel, Portland, Oregon, says: “As a book of reference! consider the fencyclopaedia Britaunl’ a the Lest author! y embodying as it does the learning of the greatest minds of the world, and as a book of general infuiiuatlon it has be come a necessary fixture in every library.” Father Hylebos, St. Leo’s Church, Tacoma, writes : “It is the product of the culture and genius of the master minds of the world, and the plan of acquiring the work could not be made more beuetioial to the public at large.” Rabbi A. Brewn, Seattle, says: “Your edition ot the Encyclopiedia Britannica Is the verr beat ever printed. No person who is a lover of knowledge aur research should be without this valuable aet of books, with out which tbe most costly and rare library is incomplete It Las many advantages over the original.” President A.

Lady Londonderry remains in Some Opinions 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 Men of Business want Accuracy, Complete ness, Conciseness and Convenience.
