This is impossible. In spite of the enormous printing Which wo had arranged for (which mado it possiblo for us to sell tho complete new unabridged Eleventh Edition of the Britannica, in n small-pago form, at one-third tho prico of tho larger-pago Cambridgo University issue) tho issue has been taken so rapidly that only n small number of sots now remain and wo cannot secure any moro at anything liko present prices. For such further sets as wo shall bo able to obtain wo shall have to in crease tho price by $11 per set for the cheaper bindings to $19 per set for the more cxpensivo bindings (and thero is no, telling how long even these prices con bo main tained). Wo wish to give the public full warning. More than 200,000 persons havo written us to ask for our largo illustrated 130-pago descriptive book about tho Encyclopaedia Britannica and the new "Handy Volume" Issue.

Need any moro bo said ? Thi3 is tho record of tho Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Far back the famous Arago and Biot, two of the most eminent of French men of science, set tho fashion, and since that time thero havo been con tributions from tho distinguished men of almost every nation in Europe to tho now Eleventh Edition contribute many of tho foremost minds of Germany, liko Harnack, Ostwald, Meyer, Driescn, Verworn and Nernst; of Holland, liko Lorentz, Van DerWaals nnd van't Hoff; of Prance, liko Babelon, BSmont, Esmein, Luchaire ; of Italy, liko Villarl ; of Sweden, liko Nansen; of Japan, likeKikuchl; of Russia, like Prlnco Kropotkin ; and so on throughout the list, Yet, in spito of all this high scholarship, in spito of its unquestioned authority, tho Encyclopaedia Britannica is an eminently practical and useful book full of interest and unexpected charm, and expressly designed to meet tho needs of busy men nnd women of today.
