AH day l ong a heayy wind Some Opinions from Eminent Men of Georgia, CONCERNING THE New Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the REMARKABLE Introductory Offer OF THE Atlanta Constitution. THE general distribution of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure of this incomparable work and place It In contrast with other cyclopaedias. 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 of the advanced thought and scholarship of the world. It Is the only cyclopaedia in which each subject is treated by aa acknowledged authority upon that subject. No other has one-third as much money on hterary labor as the Britannica. No other can show a list of principal contributors, either so eminent in their departments of scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so numerous. The full list of contibutors numbers more than two thousand persons, and includes the most eminent literary and scientific names of Europe and America. While it is the acknowledged standard, incomparably the best and most de sirable cyclopaedia in exUtence, its high cost has heretofore placed it beyond the reach of the majority. The English edition is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner edition at $5.00 per volume, making the cost of the set, in 25 yolumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding. Sonne Cheap Editions have been printed in America, but their incompleteness and inaccuracy rendered them Inadequate and unreliable as reference libraries. Ihe 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 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 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 AS THINK THESE, HINKSTHE WHOLE INTELLIGENT WORLD. Samples of this and other Encyclopaedias can be seen and compaired at 309 BROAD STREET, ROME GEORGIA. Men of Business want Accuracy, Complete ness, Conciseness and Convenience. Joseph Jacobs, Jacobs’ Pharmacy, At lanta, says • “ I am pleased to signify my appreciation of ihe new up-to-date edition of the Encycloptedia Britannica, a work whose Introduction into the homes of our people I through the Constitution, is destined to mark a new era in educational advancement. No family should allow to pass by unheeded this opportunity of securing the work at special figures. I find the Constitution edition superior to the original, inasmuch as it contains an immense amount of statistical and other information not obtainable when the original was completed (1889).” Loulie M. Gordon, Atlanta, says: I con sider the Encyclopaedia Britannica most valuable as a work of reference on all subjects of Interest. ” J. W. English, President American Trust and Ranking Company, Atlanta, says: “ I own the Encyclo paidia Britannica and regard it as a very valuable work of reference on all t subjects.” W. P. Pattillo, Fire Insurance Agent, Atlanta, says: •*‘l prize very highly the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a work of reference. Could not afford to be without it.” C. M. Fort. Life Insurance, Atlanta, says: “The Encycloptedia Britannica answer* all questions, and i in authority on all subjects. The terms offered by Thx At lanta Constitution are such as to enable any oue to secur this great work, incomparable as a teacher during leisure moments.” Robert F. Shedden, General Agent the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New Y’ork, Atlanta, says: “ The Encycloptedia Britannica constitntes the larger part of my permanent library. Have always found it most valuable.” Hugh T. Inman (Inman, Smith &. Co., At lanta) says: “Itis a very elaborate and valuable book of reference.” Beck <fc Gregg Hardware Co. say : “We regard the Encycloptedia Britannica as a necestary work of reference for every hou-ehold and office. Every subject of fu-er.-st both to old and young is plainly treated in this great work.” Eiseman & Weil, Clothiers, Atlanta, say: " We find it the most useful ol reference works.” Russell & Co., Atlanta, say: “ A set should be iu every home, office and school. It is a public educator.” Sig Pappenheimer, National Furniture Company, Atlanta, says: “ The Encycloptedia Britannica is a work nobody should be without. It is full of information of the most useful and varied character." Aaron Haas (Aaron Haas & Co., Brokers) says: “I have a set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and fiiid it a useful work, especially for my boys who are going to school, and need it almost every day as a reference book.” been blowing and nine alarms j have been turned in. The fire de partments were scattered about the city, looking after the small fires when an alarm from the ele vator was rung in.

Fhe 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 Sum merville, 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 sets of this work were sold, but the public were not slow to discover that the " Summerville 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 the first Peale reprint (no longer on the market), but as the process of photographic reproducti.u 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 this objection, both of these 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 reproduced by a photographic process. But a new era has dawned on the Cyclopedic world that will not recognize an edition which Is merely a reprint. A New Edition of the grea* Encyclopedia 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 technica' 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 a» good it the original; a few years of Inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior to anything pre vlously 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 EdlnbUfgt) Ninth Edition fur §o little for critkteta, that here and there errors of a pronounce? hrtd thv-r way into its pages. It is a notable fact that heretofore evJ / publisher who undertook to place a new edition of this great work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise with A Sort of Superstitious 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 origin.-*’ i Clergymen are Among the most Compe- I tent Encyclopaedia Critics. Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says: •* The Eucyclopiedfiv Britannica lx the only book I know of which never disappoints one seeking information. It is ou l this account necessary to every complete man, and the authorities being generally most r« 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 Britanuiea to any Encyclopaedia.” Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, D.D., Pastor Ist ( Baptist Church, Atlanta, says: “ I have Used the Brtiannica j for many years, and And it absolutely indispensable, lean i most cheerfully commend it to the public.” Rev. Walker Lewis Trinity Methodist i I Church, Atlanta, says: " 1 regard the Encyclopaedia Britan nica as the best in print. It is < f immense tange in its ' topics, covering almost every subject of impor'anee to the I people. A compend of science, art. biography, social ur.v [ secular literature, it is itself a library of no small dimen- j sions. The articles have been prepared by the best thinkers of the age. If you have it not by ail mvaus lake iu Rev. Henry McDonald, D.D., Second Bap tist Church, Atlanta, says: “ I have used the Envye'opiecia Britannica for years, and the information for which you vainly search elsewhere is sure to t>e 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 me great pleasure in recommending it to all.” Father J. O’Shanahan, S. J., President, St. M*ry's University, Galveston, savs: “The Encyi-louie i Britannica is a mine of general information uuJ a lintuiy in itself. We recommend it to all who may need the complete work of general reference published in modern times.” Dr. J. Bloch, Rabbi Congregation Beth. | Israel, Portland, Oregon, says: “as a book of reference 1 I consider the Encyclopedia Britannica the best author! y, embodying as it does the learning of the greatest minds <>f the world, and as a book of general information 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 beneficial to the public at large." , Rabbi A. Brown, Seattle, says: “Tour j edition of the Eucyclopiedia Britanuiea is the very bes’ ever printed.

The coal hunkers of the North Pacific terminal company on the West were next attacked and soon were a seething mass of flames. The next was the Oregon Rail way and Navigation Company’s wharfs, four-hundred feet in length and these too were soon on fire. There were no means of get ting water on the fire except from the river and the fire boat is an I improvised old scrow and of veXj i little service. The elevator con ’ tained nearly half a million bush-1 | els of wheat. The new plant of the Portland ' and General Electric Company I which had just arrived from Lynn Mass., was standing in the yards j of the Terminal Company, on the tears, not having been unloaded The plant coneisted of the entire machinery and was very expensive. The most valuable part of it was destroyed and the remainder bad ly damaged. Two hundred freight cars, eigh ty of which were loaded, were de stroyed. The Oregon Railway and Navigation docks - held fifteen cars consisting of wool, salmon, gener al merchandise and cement, all of w hich was destroyed with the dock. There were stored on the dock about 12,000 cases of salmon from .the lower Columbia River and Pu get Sound awaiting shipment foi I the East. It was valued at about $40,000 and was partly insured. The large steamboat, William ette Chief, moored at the yard, took fire and was burned. She was used as a tow boat and was valued at about $45,000. Three men are supposed to have perisHed in the elevator. linburgh edit on was omitted or altered except where the original Edinburgh edition was Found to be 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 the text of the original Is reproduced vrrixHim ot literatim with supplementary Information of later date appended. The maps, also, were in nearly all cases supplanted by new and later ones, which were produced especially for this work at a cost of s}o,ooo. From a literary standpoint, therefore, the new edition equals in even* point, and excels in many points, all previous editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. From a mechanical standpoint also, the new edition is Strikingly Superior to anything that has heretofore been presented to the public. The print Is large an J clear, the engravings are specimens of the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fine an, eompact texture, which, while thinner than the paper used In an; previous edition, yet avoids all transparency, and therefore gives every advantage of the former large and clumsv volumes, while It l» much more compact and convenient to handle. The binding Is also superior tn any former edition, being made with a double-hinge flexible back, which Is more durable than any other binding, and permits the pages to open out Hat. In preparing this new edition for publication The Atlanta Constitution was able to give valuable assistance byway of criticisms and corrections, and It takes a just pride in the fact that it plaved ar. important part in giving the publican edition which posses? <s all the virtue of the former editions, but has corrected ti.e slan derous and untruthful reflections against the people of she South. It is partly as a recompense for these services that the publish ers of the new edition have granted a contract to The CONSTI TUTION whereby Its subscribers can obtain this great "hom. educator" for a limited time at remarksJly low introductory prices, and upon terms so easy that it is within th? reach of t>- humblest citizen. It should be hlUtiyif, that (ills is simply as!. 1 adopted by the Britannica publishers to get this new edition ! - fore the public, and when that has been sufficiently accomplice, regular prices will be resumed, and then CONSTITUTION sub scribers, like ail others, will have to pay full retail price forth work.
