APPLETON S'
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers oa every
subjoet. Printed from new type, and Illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
Tho work originally published under tho titlo
of The New American Cyclopaedia was com
pleted in 1803, aiuco which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained lu all parts of tho
United States, and the signal development# which
have taken place in every branch of science, lit
erature and art. have induced the editors aud
publishers to submit it to au exact and thorough
revision, and to Issue anew edition entitled The
Amkiuoan Cyclopaedia.
Within the last ton years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference au imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with tho discoveries of science, and their lruitful
application to the industrial ami useful arts aud
the convenience aud refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our owu country,
which was at itH height when the Inst volume of
the old work appeared, haH happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial aud industrial
activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have bceu made by the Imlefatigublo ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought iuto public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whoso lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails ureas yet preserved only in tho newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent aud authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition f<r the press,
it lias accordingly been the aim ol the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish ail accurate account of
tho must recent discoveries In science, of every
fresh production iu literature, and of tho newest
inventions in the practical arts, ns well us to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political aud historical events.
The work has been begun after long aud care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources toa carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of tho original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page haH been printed on
new type, forming iu tact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a fiir greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
ns have been suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged kuowlodge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art. as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although Intended for instruction rather than
embeliahment, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; tho cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of tho Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1876. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY HUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
ore found in every Htate and Territory, and its
quality is well known to tho public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully op to the old
standard, but to improve and add .to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY HUN will continue to boa thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, wo
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make tho Weekly Hun the best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate rending of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature iu the Weekly Hun, and its articles Will
always bo found fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and the Weekly Hun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and oboys no
dictation, contending for principle, and lor the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price ef the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
and printing, we are not able to rnako any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is tho
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Hun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages, 56 columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount
from this rate.
THE DAILY HUN—A large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscription,
pontage prepaid, 55 cents a month, er $6.50 a
year. To clubs of 10 or over, a discount of 20
per cent. Address
