Is brought within the reach of every one who aspires after knowledge and culture. It Is really a library 
of unlversai;knowledge.It brings a 1 . • lloeral education easily within the 
reach even of every plowboy ol the pv© VOlLIXIOM country and apprentice boy of the 
city. Every farmer and every mechanic In the land owes it to 
himself and to hls children that such a Cyclopaedia shall henceforward form a part of the out dr. of hl 3 
home. To the professional man, and every person of Intelligence In every walk of life, a Cyclopaedia
