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 thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. Prices unit Mylc of Itliulliift'.

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.
