fact that they thoroughly illustrate

they used old plates without expense),

remarkably stingy spirit in their maps;

ago. as can be seen by comparison.

They have represented that our edi-

the original. and excepting 317 pages out
of twenty-two thousand, is entirely like

matter added in the back of each vol-

that every college and school of import-
ance is mentioned in our work. The
name. location. denominational con-
trol, president, number of instructors,
the number of pupils and the number of
volumes in the college library, even the
college colors are given. (See volume 6.

theirs to be a work especially prepared
for America and Americans It can be
seen by any one who makes acompari-
son there are nearly five times as many
American contributors to the Britannica
as to the so-called new Johnson‘s.

in their advertisements they never
mention the number of volumes they
have. but try to make the reader infer
that there are twenty-five, the same
number as the Britannica. There are

They criticise the Britannica's article on
American literature. and so unwittingly
call attention to the fact that this impor-

publication. The most ardent American
cannot read the Britannica's article on
American literature,and the grand tribute
paid there to our own Hamilton. Long-
fellow, Cooper, Emerson. etc.. etc.. with-
out admitting it to be one of the grandest
and most impartial articles that could be
prepared upon this subject.

in their circulars and advertisements
they give the Britannica credit for one
page upon Alabama. while anyone who
opens the book can see at a glance that,
including maps, additions and revisions,
|'there are nearly live pages. They call
attention to the articles Algebra. Am-
phibis. Mechanics. Tides, etc.. etc.,
