? CYCLOPAEDIA ILLUSTR 
[From the Few Haven Palladium.'] 
A School-Teacher wandering through Two Cyclopaedias—Illustrations which 
illustrate. 
To the Editor of the Palladium: 
In looking over “Johnson’s Cyclopaedia” I was struck at the small number of illustrations, 
and, by chance, turned to the last page of the last volume, where the closing paragraph reads: 
11 Thus it turns out in the end that k Appletons’ Cyclopaedia ’ has lost largely in type-mat¬ 
ter, and Johnson’s gained as largely, by the former containing so many old views of cities, 
public buildings, etc., while the latter has utilized space to the best advantage in illustrating 
only where it seemed necessary in order to convey a clearer idea of the subject treated. As 
Harper's Monthly Magazine said: 1 Its illustrations illustrate.; they are not mere pictures 
brought in to justify the title-page; and it is characteristic of the work that the moral and 
religious topics are put into the hands of disciples, and not enemies.’ ”
