The Tremendous Cost of the New Eleventh Edition It seems almost unbelievable to say that a million and a halt dollars could be spent on any single set of books (espe cUUy if these books were to be sold for a total of fifty or sixty dollars). Only one work in the whole history of publishing his ever cost so much and that is the new Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It cost this enormous sum first of all because it is a work of the highest authorities in every field of human knowledge. It could have been compiled by hack writers for a tenth this sum; but it would not have been the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The contributing staff includes representatives from 81 different universities in 21 different countries, and from 65 other colleges, a total of over 700 university and college experts. And all of these have wot, distinction in their especial fields. The 1500 contributors furnished a total of over40,000articles. Every one of these 40,000 articles had to be verified, edited, compressed and trimmed into its allotted space. Thousands of these articles were submitted to two or more, experts for revision and criticism. It is this sort of patience and thoroughness and prodigal outlay which has made the Encyclopaedia Britannica the one work of its kind in all the world. If you buy anything else you buy something Inferior something cheaply made, just to sell. A Library To Be Proud Of If you have a taste for a smartly kept home whether large or small it in that home you have a well-selected collection of books whether it be large or small , if in your conversation you reveal a knowledge of books and events and history and it your children are bright and well-informed-yon Inevitably gain distinction in the eyes of your neighbors and your friends. Towards all this the possession of the Encyclopaedia Britannica contributes immensely. Everyone knows that it is the greatest reference work in the world the highest authority the last word. From It you can cultivate as richly stored a mind as most people get from the finest university training (and the odd thing to it is that the 41,000 articles of the Britannica form a mine of in teresting reading as well) .

What Every Woman Should Know In these days of Woman's Clubs, Suffrage mee tints, Better Mother, Better Babies, and Better Homes, the modern woman must be far better "prepared" than the woman of former times. . But very few women have any real, chance to gain thorough education or really to learn much. Not one woman in 200 in the United States goes to college. This is Just why the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been such a splendid uplift and aid to many brilliant women, and to lots of others who Just want to know a little more than they da Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, President of the National Council of Women, says that her children were very largely brought up on the Encyclopaedia Britannica and that she Her self owes to it an immense debt In hundreds of women's clubs it has already become known as an unfailing source of reference in debates and discussions. Actually many women's clubs have purchased it Almost every woman in the land can now own the newest edition of the Britannica in the daintiest and most attractive , form in which this or any other encyclopaedia was ever issued. And the volumes of the Britannica lend an unusual stamp ' of distinction and refinement to every home in which they are found. A Miracle of Compactness If you are familiar with the older issue of the En cyclopaedia Britannica, you instinctively think of it as a huge work in 25 to 35 volumes, occupying eight feet or so on your bookshelves. The 29 volumes of the new "Handy Volume" Issue take up only 32 inches on the bookshelf and weigh only about 60 pounds. , , Yet every one of the 30,000 pages of the great Cambridge University issue is here, without the abridgment of a line or a word. In the handsome bookcase here shown yoq can flick it up and move it anywhere you like (or put it n your trunk and take it off to the country with yon if you like). ' ' And each volume, printed on the beautiful India paper, is so light that you can hold it in your hand and read for an hour with no aense of fatigue. Never was any great work of reference issued in such a compact ana handy form.
