Entirely rewritten bv the ablest writers on every subject. -Printed from new tvi, ami illustrated with Several Thousand r.ugrav iugs and Maps. The work originally pubis lied under the title of The New American Cyclopedia was completed in 18(13, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revis ion, and to issue a new edition entitled The American CYCxor.:iiA. Within the last ten vears the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs nas Kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and re finement of poeial life. (Jreat wars and con sequent revolutions have occured, involv ing national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily lxen ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been com menced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have leen made by the indefati gable explorers of Africa. The creat political revolutions ol tlie last decade, with the natural result of. the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's month, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and imort- ant sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspa pers or in the transient publications of the. day. but whih ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic nsiory. In prewiring the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible tlates. and to furnish dn accurate account of the most recent dis- oveiie; in science, of every fresh produc tion in liteiature. and of the latest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct ami original recom oi tne prog ress of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the mo st ample resources for carrying on to a successful termination. Wiiia of the original stereotvne nlates have leeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new CyclopoHlia, with the same plan end com pass as its predecessor, but with a far great er pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have leen suggested by longer experience and en larged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef fect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural histo ry, and depict the most famous and remark able features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of me chanics and manufactures. Although in tended fo rinstmction rather than embellish ment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find ft welcome reception as an ad mirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo vol umes, each containing alsint 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
