Address by Rev. G. A. Peltz, D. D.,Newark,
N. J. Subject—Training the Child.
.... The exercises and address of. Dr. Peltz
, were exceedingly interesting .and instruc-
tive. In fact, the whole tenor of the Con-
vention was to throw new light upon the,
Sabbath School work. The addresses of
AMI. Taylor, of Green’s Farms, and Messrs.
Perry, North, and Mead, were especially
instructive nnd entertaining.- ‘
' The singing was conducted by James L.
Ambler, and the instrumentrpresided over
by Miss Libbic Selleck.
All present seemed to vote the Conven-
‘ition a success; and to Mr. Ambler, who or-
ganized and practically conducted the affair,
were all principally indebted for this very
enjoyable session of the Sunday School
Union in Norwalk. ‘

AMERICAN OYOLOPEOIA.
NEW ~REVISE» EDITION. ,
Entirel rewritten by the ablest writers on every
sub ect. Printedfromnewt e,and_illnatrat-
fiwrth Several Thousand ‘ngravmga and
ps.
The work originally published under the title or
81 mew.
in 1863, since which me the wide circn atio'n
which it has attained'in all parts of the United
States, and of the signal developments whleh
have taken place in every branch of science, lite-
rature, and art, have induced the editors and
lishers to submit it to an exact and thoroug rc-
vision, and to issue a new edition entltled TnE
Amnnrcart Crowns-mu; , .
Within the last ten years the progress of discov-
cry in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of wafer-once {an imperative want.
The movement _of political affairshas kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their frmtfui
applicatlon to the industrlal and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutlons have oc-
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has .happlly_ been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrlal ac-
tivity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
we ecu made by the indefatlgable explorers of
ma.
The at political revolutions of the last decade,
with t a natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in cverypnc’s mouth, and of
whose livcs'every one is canons to know the ar-
ticulars. Great attics have been fought an im-
portnnt sicges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only In the newspapers on in
the transient publicatlons of the day, but whlch
-
thentic history. . . . ‘
. In prepanng‘the present edition for the rose, lt
has accordi ly been the aim of the c more to
bring down t e information to the latest possible
and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production ln literature; an _.of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as. ell as to give
a. succinct and origlnnl record of the progress of
political and histo cal events.
-, The work has been begun after long and careful,
preliminary labor, and. with the. most ample-re-
sources for carrying it into a successful .tcrmlna-
tron.
None of the original otypc plates have been
used, but every page has been prlntcd on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopeedia, mm the
same plan and compass as its peedecessor, but
. with far greater pecuniary expenditure, and Wlth
such improvements in lts composltlon as have
been suggested by longer experience and. enlarged
-knowle ge. _ _ v
The illustrations which are lntroduccd for the
first time in the- present edition have been added
not for the sake of ictorlal effect, but to give
tcr lucidity and orcc to the explanations in
t e text. They embrace all branches of science
hitecture
and remarkable features of scenery
and art. as well as the -varlous
chanics and. manufactures. Alt ough intended
for instructlon rather than embelllshment, no
pain: have been spared to insure their artistic ex-
cellence ' the cost of then- execution ls enormous,
and it is believed that they wlll find a welcome re-
ception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopledia,
and worthy’ot its high character.
This work is sold.to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It will be completed in
sixteen large octavo volumes, each containin
about 800 ages, fully illustrated with scvcra
,thonsand cod Eugravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographlc Maps.
