In the preparation of the various editions, and especially the last, three or four millions of dollars have been paid to the most eminent men of science and writers and teachers to create this incomparable work. A list of distinguished contributors would include practically all the treat names in science and learning among English speaking- peoples for the last six generations, and many eminent men from other nations as welL Here is one bit of evidence. Everyone knows that the Nobel Prizes (etch amounting to over $40,000) are the blue ribbons in the world of science and letters. It is indicative of the thoroughly international character of the new Eleventh Edition of the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA that seven of its contributors have been Nobel Prize winners. These include Lord Rayleigh, England : Dr. Wilhelm Ostwald, Ger many; Sir J. J. Thomson, England; Prof. J. H. Vant Hoff. Ger many ; Sir Ernest Rutherford, England ; Prof. J. D. Van Der Waals. Holland ; Prof. U. A. Lorentz, Holland. Just a few others of the distinguished contributors include Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discoverer of the "Darwinian" theory; Lord Bryce; Sir George H. Darwin, eminent mathematician and son of Charles Darwin ; Sir William Crookes ; Sir Edwin Ray Lankester; Sir Archibald Geikie; Sir Robert Ball; Sir James Dewar; Sir William M. Ramsay; Dr. Fridtjof Hansen; Dr. Max Verworn, and the poet Swinburne. When you read an article in the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA. you have always full confidence that it is written with the highest authority, that all of its statements are true, that it represents the latest word upon the subject treated. A single dollar paid now brings you the complete work. Now to be had at on the IS?! price of the Cambridge University Issue of iden tically the same work Seven days remain seven working days. One week from to-day ends our sale of the new "Handy Volume" Issue of the Britannica at phenomenally low prices. This sale has been a landmark in the history of American publishing. It means the sale of a greater number of volumes in the same space of time than has ever before been known. We are proud of our achievement. We wish the sale could continue indefinitely. That the war has made impossible. ' When we made our arrangements with the publishers of the Britannica for this new issue, we thoughtwe had contracted for a sufficient number of sets to last for a long time to come. But the public was quick to realize what a genuine bargain they had before them. Here is an opportunity to secure the new Eleventh Edition of the greatett reference work in the world at one-third the price that is charged for the larger-page Cambridge University issue, and in a form so convenient and handy as actually to be preferred by many to the larger volume with the larger type. The two issues are identicjd line for line, page -for page. Not a single one of the 41,000 articles has been abridged by so much as a word. A week ago we gave notice that the s apply of sets was nearing exhaustion and that our present offer would have to be withdrawn. This has resulttri in an enormous number of orders, which may bring the end sooner than we anticipate. , We hopethat our friends whs have sent their orders will realize that we aredoingour very best to ship the volumes promptly, but we a iall ask a little patience if they do not arrive on the day they are expected. I? you do not wish to be subjected to a still greater delay or if you do not wish to receive notification that of the particular binding you selected no more sets arejvailable we urge you to send your order by to-day's post if possible. The Colossal Sale of This Work The first edition of the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA appeared nearly a century and a half ago before the colonies had revolted, when Pitt was Prime Minister and George the Third was King. In this century and a half eleven different editions have been published, and in their making the greatest minds of this century and a half have been engaged. Sir Walter Scott wrote for the third edition; MaeaoIay.De Quineey and hundreds of other famous men, for later editions. To write for the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA long ago became a mark of distinction. AIL'! "5toralr required huge outlay. For the Seventh Edition (1830) over $800,000 was spent for the editorial work: for the Ninth Edition, one million dollars ; and for the new Eleventh Edition, tl .600.000, No other work in all the world has involved the outlay of such enormous sums. The total for all the eleven editions, for editorial preparation, paper, presswork and binding, would probably far exceed IW,000.000. And of no other work la the world, with the single exception ot the Holy Bible, have so many eopies been sold. And by far the larger part has been in the United States. George Washington was owner of a set, and practically every president since. The grand total of seta sold, for all editions, in all the English speaking countriesof the earth, would be somewhere over a million seta, oia total of around twenty -two million volumes. This ia more than in all the vast national libraries of London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Washington, all massed together. It is thia colossal sale which has alone made possible the huge expendi tures required to make, and re-make, the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA from generation to generation what it has been for now 14S ,n tha inn...
