Although the ENCYCLOPATIA HEITANNICA ba boca sold by The Times" in Grant Brimin, in India, in Australia, in South Africa, in Conada and the United States, in Burma, Ceylon and the Straits, it has heretofore been found impossible to offer the work directly to the people of China owing to the extraordinary demand for it elsewhere, and the great distance of this country from the soures of supply.
The ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA is the only complete, exhaustive, and authoritativo exposition of human knowledge, from the most remote period to the present day, that has over been published. It is, therefore, indispensable to arury thoughtful person, while for the professional man, the student, the man of affairs, and the man of business, it is of the atmost practica valua because it epitomises the highest achievements in every branch of human activity, and has employed the services of the greatest specialists of the present gonoration in every country of the world.
