"Everybody ia giving this sensible present this year; I shan't have enough to go 'round"
The History of
a Great Work
Showing tho Wonderful Prog
ress of 150 Vcars
A hundred and fifty yenrs
atjo, wtien the stngp-conch horn
still echoed through England,
and a young, unknown planter
named George Washington
was hunting foxes or surveying
Innd in His Majesty's colony of
Virginia, there appeared in
three modest volumes n book
which was destined to exercise
a great influence throughout
the world a greater influence
than any other one work in the
range of English letters.
It was called "The Encyclo
paedia Britannica" and was
prepared, according to its title
page, "by a Society of Gentle
men" who were, incidentally,
eminent scholars in their time.
The Origin of Encyclopaedias
Theso men not only origi
nated the plan on which the
Encyclopaedia Britannica was
built, but the very idea of an
encyclopaedia, so familiar to us
today, is the result of their
work. What they planned was
essentially an educational work
a new mothod of bringing the
knowledge of specialists in cor
rect and scholarly form to the
general public. Tho idea was
revolutionary in its day, and its
success has Deen an important
means of diffusing education for
150 years.
Up through the decades this
book has advanced, always
ahead of the times, always en
tertaining, always absolutely
correct in Us statements. How
successful both the idea and the
book have been Is shown by
the fact that tho reputation of
the, Encyclopaedia Britannica
has steadily grown through 15Q
years and is greater today than
ever; that the sale of each edw
tion and there have now been
no less than eleven has been
greater than that of its prede
cessor, and that the total sale
has been larger than of all other
encyclopaedias in English,
French, German, Italian, Rus
sian and Spanish combined.
Features of ihc Britannica
The Britannica nan lived and
succeeded as a result of the
Tmnnrtanf- Tn0 Proscnt prices of the
xuiyuA La., Encycioprtodjn. Britannica
("Handy Volume" Issue) hold
good only on orders sent to us at once. We are
sorry to state that on account of the higher cost of
all materials for the making of books, tho Pub
lishers nro obliged to increase the price to us, and
we to the general public. Tho present low prices
will, therefore, be advanced by from one to three
monthly payments (from $3 to $9), according to
the binding, on or before December 20th.
How long it will be possible to maintain these
new prices without another increaso is uncertain.
In any case, if you wish to purchase the Encyclo
paedia Britannica ("Handy Volume" Issue) at tho
present low prices, act at once.
Sears, Roebuck and Co,, Chicago.
way it has always been made:
(1) because it was written by
the highest authorities, each in
his own branch of knowledge;
(2) because it appealed alike
to the scholar and the general
public, to thoeducated and those
who wanted to be educated;
and (3) because its publishers,
editors andcontnbutors have
always considered it an educa
tional institution, not simply or
solely a money-making produc
tion. In fact, it is only because
scholars and writers every
where think of the Britannica
as an educational work that it
is possible to secure ascontribu
tors the leaders of thought the
world over.
From the time of tho First
Edition of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica (1708) down to tho
present, each edition has been
larger than its predecessor.
This has naturally been so, for
the increase in knowledge dur
ing the past one hundred and
fifty years has been unprece
dented. As the work grew
larger and larger, with the in
clusion of more and more ma
terial about every topic under
the sun, not only did the num
ber of volumes increase from 3
to 29, but each volume naturally
became bulkier and heavier un
til it became so large and cum
bersome that it required some
exertion to lift and open it.
The Use of India Paper
Then it was that the pub
lishers of theBritannica hit upon
the invention of a thin India
paper which should transform
the heavy books into light and
wisjly-houlled one. India pa
per revolutionized tho making
of these books.
Its thin, tough sheets reduced
the thickness of the volumes by
two-thirds and the weight from
8 pounds to almost that of tho
ordinary magazine. At tho
same time the opaque quality
of tho papor throws the typo
up, distinctly, yet prevents it
fr6m showing through on the
other side.
In short, India paper was, as a
prominent clergyman described
it, "an inspiration of genius,"
and its use revolutionized the
making of books.
There remained but one step
ilioro to bring the Encyclopae
dia Britannica, with its wealth
of information, within the reach
of every one. That was a re
duction in the price, so that the
average man or woman, with
the average income, the young
man just starting in life, tho
wife and the daughter in the
home, each might possess this
work,
Published In Two Forms
This marvelous work i3 pub
lished in two forms the high
priced Cambridge Issue and the
popular "Handy Volume" Issue.
The Cambridge Issue (which
has been called the "rich roan's
book") is printed in Yery large
type, on large pages, with extra
wide margins. This is substan
tially the same form in which
the Britannipa has been pub
lished since "768148 years.
The pages are 8 Inches wide
by 1 1 finches deep. This issue
makes a splendid appearance
in any one's library, fh Cam
bridge Issue sells for $5 down
and monthly payments of the
same, amount for a limited
period. Of tho 75,000 seta
printed in this magnificent form,
less than 1500 sots aro left.
Making It Available ta All
Tho original object in pub
lishing tho "Handy Volume"
Issue was to produce this great
library ot knowlcdgo at a pop
ular price, making it available
to every person who has need
of it. But its convenient form
and case of handling, oven
more than its low price, have
been' responsible .for its tre
mendous sale. InJ six months,
75.000 sets have bcon sold.
This "Handy Volume" Iasue
is identical with tho Cambridge
Issue, except in the size of page
and type. The pages aro slightly
smaller and the margins nar
rower. But in its contents it ia
precisely the same page for
page, line for line, word for
word as the high-priced Cam
bridge Issue. Every plate in
colors, overy Illustration, every
mpp, is identically the same, It
is also printed on genuine India
paper. Tho "Handy Volume"
Issue is sold exclusively by
Sears, Roebuck and Co., of
Chicago.
The Scarcity ot India Paper
India paper is made from A
kind of flax grown in Germany,
Belgium and Ireland. Tho war
ended tho getting of any flax
from Belgium and Germany
two years ago, and tho embargo
of the British government has
cut off all supplies from Ireland.
The result is that no more India
paper can be procured for years
to come, for even should the
war end tomorrow, there are
other and more Important crops
to be grown than flay.
Every set of the Encycloj
paedia Britannica that couldjrie
made on India paper has now
been made; when those on hand
are taken, as they will be In the
very near future, the work can
no longer be purchased. We
strongly advise, therefore, all
who wish a set of this greatest
of all reference works, in either
the high priced Cambridge Issue
or the popujar 'Handy Volume"
form.ata savingof 60 in price,
to order a set at once,
