THE CYCLOPEDIA WAR 
The month of July, 18S1, witnesses the completion of the largest and most important literary work 
this country and the century have seen. It Is the Library of Universal Knowledge, large type edition 
In 15 large octavo volumes, containing 10 per ct. more matter than Appletons’ cyolopsedla, at less than 
one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent, more than Johnson’s Cyclopaedia, at a little more than one-fourth 
Its cost. 
Chambers’s Encyclopaedia, which forms the basis of the Library of Universal Knowledge (the last 
London edition of isso being reprinted verbatim as a portion of Its contents), Is the laborious product 0 
the ripest British and European \ # ■ ■ scholarship. It has developed 
through a century of Cyclopaedia \f | OXO TV making, its various edlttons having 
been many times revised, in success- J lve years, till it has come to he uni¬ 
versally recognized, by those competent to Judge, as standing at the very front of great aggregations of 
knowledge, and better adapted than any other Cyclopmdla for popular use. It contains such fun and 
Important Information as the ordinary reader, or the careful student. Is likely to seek, upon about 2,500 
subjects, In every department of human knowledge. Chambers’s Encyclopedia, however, is a foreign 
production, edited and published for a foreign market, and could not be expected to gtve as much 
prominence to American topics as f » American readers might desire. To 
supply these and other deficiencies a T O T I ll 0 large corps of American editors and 
writers have added important artl- eles upon about 15,000 topics, cover¬ 
ing the entire field of human knowledge, bringing the whole number of titles under one alphabetical 
arrangement to about 40 , 000 . Thus the work is thorougbtly Americanized, and the Library of Univer¬ 
sal Knowledge becomes at once the latest and most complete Encyclopedia In the field, at a mere frac¬ 
tion of the cost of any similar work which has preceded It. 
^ of the 15 volumes, complete, in extra cloth binding, $15.00. In half Russia, sprinkled 
r^llCS ed £ es - $20 00 . in half Russia, gilt top, $22 50. lu full library sheep, marbled 
edges, $ 25 . 00 . 
Tbe superlative value and Importance of this great Encyclopedia lies especially In the fact that it 
Is brought within the reach of every one who aspires after knowledge and culture. It Is realty a library 
of universal knowledge. It brings a 1 , ■ imeral education easily within the 
reach even of every plowboy of the 0YQ| LJ XI O country and apprentice boy of the 
city. Every tanner and every mechanic In the land owes it to 
himself and to his clffldren that such a Cyclopaedia shall henceforward form a part of the outfit of his 
home. To the professional man, and every person of Intelligence in every walk of life, a Cyclopaedia 
la a necessity. 
Of course the old and wealthy publishers who have grown rich (It is said that the Appletons have 
made a profit of nearly two million dollars on tholr Cyclopaedia) from the sale of their high-priced pub¬ 
lications are not pleased that their monopolies are broken and their power overthrown. Of course the 
book agents and booksellers who have been used to getting from <10 to 60 per cent, commission for sell- 
^ A A A ___ J Ing these high-priced books are not so well pleased 
I U a U U U |\ © VT aid t° sell the Library of Universal Knowledge on 15 
1 per cent, commission, though those who are not 
short-sighted discover that their own Interests, after all, are Identical with the Interests of the people, 
and their real profits. In the end, are Increased, by tbe Immense sales which result from meeting the 
people’s wants. The majority of booksellers, however, are better pleased to slander than to sell this 
aod our numerous other standard and incomparably low-priced publications. But the Literary Revo¬ 
lution has always looked to the people, in whose 1 1 a . 
interest it Is, for Its patronage, and it has never | Q ^ J Q A O"0 HXS« 
looked in vain, as our more timn one million vol- O 
umes printed last year (this year being increased to probably more than two millions) abundantly 
prove. You can order the Cyclopaedias directly from us, and by uniting with your neighbors and
