Oun columns have already called [attention to the new editaina of Appleton's l Arnerican Encyclop:cha. It is thoroughly re vised and harmonized in every respect With the learning and science of to-day. Much new matterbas been added, and all the old articles revised, arid as far as necessary amended. An entirely new feature is a large number of excel lent illastratious. Five volumes have been published and distributed to subscribers. It gives us great pleasure to endorse this Cycle fella,. as invaluable Beyond all competition for the purpoSes of.the American student. There is no similar work worthy of being mentioned by its side for his uses.. It is literally an American Cyclopiedia; adapted. specially to the use of Americans, and treating of all national subjects in en American spirit and manner. At ..the 'same time it is cosmopolitan, doing justice as. far as possible to all sorts of people and all sorts of gnestions. We have consulted ii'main ly Upon biographical and geographical subjects, and find it to boas full as could b 3 expected in such a work, while always lucid and compre hensive. One can rely upon its facts. It is a 'great labor-saving machine. It gives the cream of libraries—it supplies, the student with mate rial that, he could procure himself only at the expense of thousands of dollars and long years of revere toil. It is hard to see how any stu dent Or professional man can got along without it. - At the same time it is an entire library to a .J.Jtelligent family, supplying biography, his; tory, science, and even a little theology—every thing indeed but poetry and fiction. Such a work is beyond all price: where there aro boys and girls eager for knowledge and ambitious to ace!.
