undertaking of Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, publishers of 75
years, experience and lor 30 years makers of encyclopaedias
Never was a general reference book so thoroughly rewritten within po short a time after publirxtion
Much Needed:
Many recent changes profoundly affecting important human
activities have demonstrated the imperative need of a new ency
clopaedia, It is the him of the publisher to supply this need with
the Second Kcition of the New International. It in thus the only
standard encyclopaedia covering: recent events.
Widest Scope:
Every topic that could by any possible chance be of interest to
the busy man man. professional man, general reader or stti'lent.
is included.
Highest Authority:
The l.rst edition is in IStHi public and school libraries and is
recommended by the grent majority of librarians as the best. Of
it the New York Evening Tost ami the Nation, said: "As an en
cyclopaedia of American interests for American readers, it is un
doubtedly the best and fullest in existence. " The Second Kdition
will fully maintain the position of authority established by the
lirst edition.
New Throughout:
In the Second Edition a free haud is given the editors, since
the type is being reset for the entire work there is no ingertion
of new matter in old plates and no supplementary volumes.
Enlarged:
Each article is critically examined, enlarged, or rejected in
fnvor of a now one and a vast number of new articles added. The
result is an increased space of nearly twenty per cent, and of vol
umes from 21 to 24 The work of revision is divided into depart
ments, covering the whole field of learning and is undertaken by
foremost authorities.
A Great Enterprise:
International:
The work is broadlv internatianal in its scope, yet contains
more topics of use and interest t Americans than an other -dsndj
aril encyclopaedia.
Profuse-Illustration:
It is illustrated with colored plates, half tune-, dilotints, and
text cuts on a scale 'more elaborate and costly than has ever be
fore been attempted in this country.
Convenience:
Each subject is given its own artii le and may be found in
stantly in the alphabetical arrangement.
The Cross-Reference System:
has I n o extended as to guide the reader to every part if
a general subject and to form a connection between related to i
A Feature:
In the article describing Cities ane Towns, information is in
cluded regarding their government and ownership of public util
ities. Each article is checked twice by someone living in the town
and once against published information of the town. Maps of im
IKirtant cities are introduced.

New Matter:
lev. persons realize the immense amount of time, labor and
money spent in collecting the information so conveniently obtain
able from its handy volumes. A costly organization of scholars of
international requirements and reputation was perfected; a trained
crew of alphabetizes, and a corps of expert proof-readers were
assembled, the necessary clerical force is of special efficiency.

er required great care in selection. The choice of a printing
paper proved a matter of great difficulty. Finally a special stock
was made uu thin, strong, durable, that won't crumble believed
to lu the finest paper in existence for the purpose.
The Second Edition will contain about ko.immi articles, ai.is (I
pages, 40,00 columns, and 3.000,000 lines.
There will be about 10 per cent, more articles than may be
found in any other similar work, due in part to the vast mass of
new matter incorporated.
The causes, history and effects of the current European War
will receive adequate treatment.
Maps:
Accuracy:
A new series of maps will Iks provided later, better and mon
accurate than can be found elsewhere.
I he blghotl degree of accuracy has been obtained by dividing
and sub-dividing the subject matter among specialists and experts
.ru I lis having their productions criticised by other specialists so
that the articles represent the collective knowledge of highly
trained ami able men, and each article is proof-read six times.
Bibliography:
Interest:
The articles have been written in such a way as to be free
from eatioiis technicalities and with due regard to form and
logical order of presentation and contain really valuable informa
tion instead of loosely assorted and unrelated facts
Distinctive:
The pronounciation and derivation of the title words are given
a valuable feature not found in most encyclopedias.
Practical:
The articles are concise without loss of sufficient content.
At the end of each important article a bibliography is'altacht-il
naming the best books for further reading, giving name of author,
date and place of publication. The sub-diyi-ion of the larger sub
jects is indicated by appropriate sub-headings

tional Encyclopaedia will receive, free, a certificate of meinhei

DODD, MEAD & COMPANY
NEW YORK CITY
From the New York Sun, January 23rd, 1915.
"For ten years now the New International Encyclopaedia, published by Dodd, Mead & Com.
pany, has been subjected to the severe test of daily consultation and has stood it well. It has
practically held the field alone in America.
"The rapid advances in every branch of human activity and learning makes frequent ad
ditions and changes necessary. The editors have, therefore decided to issue a Second Kdition of
the New international fully revised and brought up-to-date, printed from new plates and increased
in size to twenty-four volumes. ""
"Some instances of the changes may be of use. The article on Aeronautics is an admirable
piece of work, covering the whole field concisely and clearly in a space that is fully warranted l
the general interest in the subject.
"The recent Balkan War is described adequately. Advance in science calls for reconstruction
of the articles on Archaeology, of Babylonia, and Cuneiform Inscriptions, and of that on Biology.
Architecture now includes a description of the Woolworth tower.
"The New International promises in its improved edition, to continue as the most convenient
encyclopaedia in the American market. The thin paper is perfectly satisfactory for privet pur
poeee, Of the size of the page is not too large."
