The ExCYCLEDIA BRITANNICA is the only complete, exhaustive, and authoritative exposition of human knowledge, from the most remoto period to the present day, that has ever boon published. It is, therefore, indispensable to every thoughtfal person, while for the professional man, the student, the man of affairs, and the man of business, it is of the utmost practical value because it epitomises the highest achievements in every branch už kataon sctivity, and has employed the services of the greatest specialists of the present generation in every country
