Scme Opjniions
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 cyclopedia 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. 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 ex*.Xtence, 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
volumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding.
Some Cheap Editions
have been printed in America, but their 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 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 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

was, that although a considerable number of these sets were

and the old plate* 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 reproductiot
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* Encyclopaedia Britannica has entered the field, be
fore which the original Edinburgh Edition Itself is compelled tc
retire. Taking advantage of recent improvements in the art of
reproduction, the pages of the original have been duplicated I;,
such perfection that even one most skilled in the technical
knowledge of printing finds It impossible to distinguish them
I from type-set pages. But It was not enough to publish an edi
tion that was simply <u good as 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
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 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 or

The print is large and dear, the engravings are specimens of
the highest art. the margins are wide, the paper Is of a fine ant
'■ompact 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 clumsy volumes,
while it is much more compact and convenient to handle. The*
binding is also superior to any (ormer edition, being made with a
double-hinge flexible back, which is more durable than any other
binding, and permits the pages to open out flat. In preparing
this new edition for publication
