LOOK FOR YOURSELF. '
Four Claims That You Can Easily
Verify or Dlsf’prove.
1. That the scacalled “American
supplement” to the Britannica is often
misleading and not up to data. You
willfind many articles to be a re-pro-
duction of what has already been said
in the body of the work. Compare the
articles in the supplement on St Augus-
tine and Washington with the articles
on those cities in the Britannica. But
more than this, many of the art-icles‘on
cities are inaccurate and not up to date.
Compare the articles on Niagara and
Hartford with the some subjects in
Johnson’s. .
2. That the article-s are unscientific.
Areliabie cyciopedia should not be a
scrap book. Yet in the article on Bac-
terium you will find clippings from the
New York Sun. Compare the article
on Bacteriology in Johnson’s with the
same srlbjecrin the American supple-
ment.
8. That the main body of the work
is not an exact l‘i-pl‘tllluulion of the
original ninth edition of the Britannicir,
with the exception or the copyrighted

Lockout at Danbur y.
The Danbury hat manufacturers op-
erating fair or union shops declared a
lOckout against the Finishers’ associa-
The action
was almost unexpected by the trade
and as late as two o’clock Salurday
afternoon President "Burnett and the
other officers of the association were
unaware of it. _
The manufacturers and the finishers
have been discussing the matter of bills
of prices for several days and although
there was a disagreement, it does not
appear that a lockout was anticipated.
' [The following is the notice which was
mailed to the Finishers’ association,
. NOTICE.
Whereas. a. notice from a committee
of the Hat Finishers, by a vote of their
association, to the manufacturers oper-
ating fair or trade shops, that the
agreements and privileges entered Into
January 27, 1894, are null and vord, and
no longer recognizedby them, thereby
taking from the manufacturers the
1‘1th to make satisfactory arrangement-s
With their employees for the proper
conducting of their basincss, they have,
therefore, reserved to close their fact-
ories to the members of the Hat Fm—

OLD ours! ANCIENT ILLUSTRATIONS.
In thefirst volume of Johnson’s new
edition there are one hundred illustra-
tions identical with those in the old
edition. _ .
In volume 2, 140 illustrations identi—
cal with those in the old edition. .
In volume 2, 189 illustrations identi.
cal with those in the old edition.
In volume 4, 105 illustrations identi-
cal with those in the old edition. ’
In the first four volumes more than
half of the cuts are old. In the first
four volumes nearly all the cuts of
animals arealot of cheap cuts tilieu
from Johnson’s Natural History 8. work
that was first published in 1859, when
wood engraving was at an imperfect
state. An evidence of the cheapness
of their revision may .be seen in the in-
consistent fact that- they thoroughly
illustrate zoological subjects, (manifest-
ly because they use old plates without
expense), but they leave their articles
on the vegetable kingdom almost vord
of any illustration; while the Great
Britannica gives three hundred and
filly—seven illustrations and sixteen full
page engraved plates to the one subJect
of Botany; at the same time Britannica
just as thoroughly illustrates every
subject pertaining to the animal hinge
dom.
WORTHLESS MAPS.
The Johnson people have betrayed a
remarkably stingy spirit 1n their maps,
for instance—they represent the map of
Connecticut-do be
graved on copper plate expressly for
Johnéon’s Cyclopedia.”
from Johnson’s Atlas, published
twenty-six years ago, as can be seen by
comparison.
Their maps are rendered useless for
competent reference by the veryfcw
points given in the difi'erentcount es—
for example—Pulaski county, of Ar-
kansas. is given but four towns and
in Montgomery county,_Alabama. only
four town are named; 01} the map of
all the states no name is given too
single one of the important railroads
'in them. From the map of California
the names of three counties are entirely
omitted; namely. Riverside, organized
from a part of San
ganiZed from a part of Tulare; Madera
organized from a part of Fresno. .As
further illustration of the worthless-
ness of the Johnson maps, they show
in their maps of Arkansas less than
four hundred towns while Britannica
gives nearly two thousand towns.
There are ommissrons of Important
places, in many instances, and also of
distinguished persons, for example :
Aberavon, a town of Wales, popula-
tion about twelve thousand: ' .
Abercromby, David, a. distinguished
Scottish Physician.
Acconamboni Vitteire, an Italian lady
remarkable for her extraordinary
beauty and her tragic history. ' .
Accorso, Mariangelo, a learned critic
and a great favorite. with Charles V.
Acharius, Erik, a Sweedisb botanist,
bo’rn.in 1757,'whose name has been
given to several species Of plan ts. .
‘Abbot Joel, an eminent American
naval commander. ~ _
Abbot, John, anoted American en-
tomologist. _ ‘
Adam, Lambert S, a noted French
sculptor, some of whose best_ statuary
is new in'the garden of Versailles.
Adam, Henry A.; a distinguished
American naval commander. ,
Adams, Seth, an Americanaud the
inventor of the Adams printlong press.
And hundreds Of others. _' 4
What is particularly observable is the
absurd brevity of numerous articles in
Johnson’s which are exhaustively treat-
.ed in Britannica :
The brevity of J ohnson’s articles
might, do for a pocket dictionary; but.
{Dalian encyclopedia they hardly fill the

These are only a few of the omissions
which any person can readily detect
from a brief examination Of their work.
If we were to go into detail a book
could be written on their errors and
omissions, for they run up. Into the
thousands.
The Encyclopedia Britannica-from A
to Alabama has four hundred and thirty-
eight Pager. The additions and revis-
ions from A to Alabama has fifty-nine.
J ohnson’s Cyclopedia from A to Ala-
bama has ninety pages. Excess of
pages in Britannica and additions,.four
hundred and seven pages. On these
four hundred and thirty-eight pages of

twenty articles not in J ohuson’s.
On these fifty-nine pages of Additions
there are one hundred and thirty-four

QUALITY OF PAPER.
The paper in the new (?) Johnson’s is
pulpy, spongy paper containing a large
per cent. of wood pulp which will cause
it to turn yellow with long use, while
the edition of the Britannica is printed
on a thin smoothly calendered pure rag

UNSCRUPULOUS.
It requires no special genius to pick
out faults in any Work, but these un-
scrupulous wouid-be competitors have
been using another and an older edition
and representing it as ours.
ORIGINAL.
They have represented that our
edition is not a production of the
Edinburg Edition of the Encyclo—
paedia Britannica, while as has been
proVot‘l time without number, it is an'
exact reproduction of the original, and
excepting 317 pages out of twenty -iwo
thousand, is entirely like the original,
line'for line, letter forletter. The
American COpvright articles being re~
vised and the supplementary matter
added in the back of each volume,
being entirely new and brought down
to date.
‘ AGENT’S PROFIT.
Itis generally known by book men
that the agents for the new (2) Johnson
make a profit of from 40 to 60 per cent.
according to the number of books that
they buy olitright and the territory
they control. Who pays this tax?
Think 01 ll! A cheaply gotten up book
selling at $7.00 per volume in this age
of type-setting machinery and cheap
books. If any reader has contemplated
purchasing their work let him inquire
of any reputable business man, and he
will be Informed that any enterprise
that offers the selling agent from 40 to
60 per cent. commission, where tran-
sactions are so large as in the case of
the Johnson Cyclopedia, such an en-
terprise must be to a large extent
fraudulent.
Notwithsmnding that these Johnson
agents have all the time been sheltered
only by a roof of most brittle glass,
they Could not resist the impulse to
throw stones. The absurdity and un-
trutht’ulncss of their attacks against the
Britannica has had only one result, and
that is to bring addittonalsubscriptions
to us. _ _
They claim fifty thousand articles,
school mentioned as one subject, While
and colleges as only one article.

hundred sulrJ-wts.
(treat Britannica treats over two hun-
dred and fifty thousand subjects. In
their advertisement they credit the
Britannica. with less than three hun—
dred articles from A. to Adam, they
claim three hundred and sixty; as a
fact from A. to Adam in the Sentinel
edition, including the additions and
revrsions, there are five hundred and
nine subjects treated. Count them.
Ouredition of the Britannica states
that Albany became the capital of the
state in 1797; the additions and revisions
did not become the permanent Cdpltul
until 1807‘. The various histories ot this
state will verify this bit or information
contained in the Sentinel’s Britannica,
which, however, has been omitted from
the new (?) Johnson. Students of the
history of New York state are aware
that Pounhkeepsie, Kingston, New
York (or New Amsterdam) and finally
Albany were in turn, the temporary
capitals of the state; Albany becoming
the temporary capital in 1797, the per-
manent capital in 1807.
has nothing to say about the American
schools and colleges; while it is a fact
that every college and school of im-4
portance is mentionnd _in our work.
The name, location, denominational
control, president, number of instruc-
tors, the number of pupils and the
number of volumes in the college li-
brary, even the college colors are giv-
on. (See volume 6, p rges 488, 48:), 490,
etc., American Additions and Revis-
ions.) They claim theirs to be a work
eSpecially prepared for America and
Americans. It can be seen by any one
who makes a comparison there are
nearly five times as many American
contributors to the Britannica us 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
to be, when COIDDlttdd, only eight vol-
umes of the new (?) Johnson.
They criticise the article on Africa,
but anyone who willtrouble themselves
to make a comparison WI“ see that our
additions and revisions bring this sub-
ject down two years later than the
Johnson book. They don’t even show
a map of the free Congo state. (See
beautiful two page map of the Congo
stile, pages 42 and 43, volume 1st, Bri-
tannica American Additions and Be-
visions.) '/
They criticise the Britannica’s article
on American literature, and so un‘
wittlngly call attention to the fact that
this important subject is omitted from
their own publication. The most
ardent American cannot read the
Britannica’s article on American litera-
ture, and the grand tribute paid there
to our own Hamilton, Lonfellow,
Camper, Emerson, etc., etc., without
admitting it to be one of the grandest
and most impartial articlesthat could
be prepared upon this subject. '
. In their circulars and adVertisemeuts
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 five pages. They call
attention to the articles Algebra, Am-
phibia, Mechanics, I‘ides, etc., etc.,
maintaining that they are too technical
and scientific, thus displaying their ig.
norance of the fact that the Great Bri-
tannica gives two treatments on all
scientific subjects, that is, a scientific as
well as a popular treatment.
boast of the Britannica that, as 9. refer-

young pupil, the advanced student, the
