We have simply organized our readers into a club of encyclopaedia buyers, and obtained from the publishers the oonoessions which so large an organization has the legitimate right to demand. Our reward will coma in an increased circulation, which, again, will probably enable us to seoura similar advantages for our subscribers in some other direction. This is as it should be; the publishers, and readers of a great newspaper-shoulwork together for mutual advantage. What the publishers have done is fax take the Encyclopaedia Britannica lo pieces and rebuild it with amendments aud improvements. The latest or ninth edition ot the original work wis oompiled some fifteen years ago; the American editors have revised it to the present year. The original work was crowded with minute and exhaustive descriptions of English towns, cities, counties, boroughs, minor institutions and other matters ot peculiar interest to Englishmen, and to Englishmen alone, while Ameri-ca- n subjects were treated with the same brevity aa French or German The American editors have reversed this 'method condensed the article on distinctively British subjects within reasonable limits, and utilized the space thus gauid tor exhaustive ot purely American topics. The original work excluded from its plan all mention ot individuals, however famous, who were alive at the time of its compilation; it says not a word of more than half the men whose names are written on the page of modern history no word of Orant or 8heridan or Sherman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Julia Ward Howe or Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, of Cleveland, Harrison or Blaine, or Parnell, Salisbury or Bismarck. This rroful lapsus, too, has been supplied in the Americanized edition. A series of 4,000 biographies, each brought down to the present year, enables the reader to learn at a glance the life story of every noted individual of the present generation. To all this add a oomplete aeries of maps and a number of engravings illustrative of the text, and the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica ia before you a work ia whose introduction to our readers we feel a not unwarrantable pride, otns pbopo8itiok.
