of this Incomparable work and place H in contrast with
other cyclopaedias. The result has been to establish beyond
question its unqualified superiority. It is a riant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in alt literature ; the one
only adequate representative of the 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
literary labor as the Britannica. N» Utar to, ehvw a Hst of

thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and
scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard, incomparably the amd most de
sirable cyclopaedia in ex*.stence, its high com has heretofore
placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition

Some Cheap Editions
have been printed in America, but t/ieir incompleteness and
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
libraries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint.
This reprint never became popular 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
fact of its inaccuracy in reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong
exponent in a mathematical .formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might 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

Following the Stoddard repiint there were two photographic

But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopedic world that will
not recognize an edition which Is mr.rtlg a reprint.
A New Edition
of the grea* Encyclopaedia Britannica has entered the field, be
fore which the original Edinburgh Edition itself Is compelled to
retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art ol
reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated 1„
such perfection that even one most skilled In the technical
knowledge of printing finds it impossible to distinguish them
from type-set pages. But It was not enough to publish an edi
tion that was simply as good as the original; a few years of
Inspection by a critical public bad developed the fact that the
Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre
viously issued from the press, was yet not infallible, and while
it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers
that so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all 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 Soperstatioos Awe,
viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, the 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, it 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 *he origins'
