[blocks in formation]

"The Outlook," New York: "We commend the idea, and we commend also the thoroughness and care with which the articles have been prepared. It will doubtless make a place for itself as a reference work unlike any other, and will be of great utility to students and writers."

"The Inter-Ocean," Chicago: "We are in receipt of work that promises to be of the highest value. It is admirably illustrated, and it is intended to make illustrations a prominent feature of the publication. The paper, type and presswork are excellent, and for every reason this work merits the highest success."

"The Advance," Chicago: "It deals with the latest informatiou in current history and research upon the encyclopedia plan, thus giving up-to-date facts upon a very wide variety of topics of current interest. The great advantage to the busy man is obvious. He has the latest information conveniently classified and indexed for quick reference. The great defect of costly encyclopedias is that they quickly get out of date on many subjects. This encyclopedia renews its youth month by month."

"The Tribune," Chicago: "This publication is becomng of greater value every month."

GUGLIELMO MARCONI INVENTOR OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

(A SAMPLE PORTRAIT)

"The Standard," Chicago: "We do not see how any wide-awake person can get along without it. Its purpose and plan is entirely different from a magazine like the "Review of Reviews." There are many illustrations and the typography is excellent."

"The American," Nashville: "A publication which no man of affairs, no one who would keep abreast of the times, and certainly no one who has need of a reference work that deals with things which are of to-day can get along without.*** It is a very handsome publication. * *The work is not issued in haphazard fashion, but every detail shows the most painstaking attention. The mechanical work is a marvel of taste and care, and the fine paper and clear type used make it a delight to the eye.'

"The Dial," Chicago: It has provided itself with an excellent staff of contributors * ** makes a very credible showing."

"The Times," New York: "The editors have shaped their work in accordance with the demands of the average investigator into current events. It is well illustrated with portraits, maps and views and should prove a valuable reference."

"The Mail and Express," New York: It will prove a boon to busy workers, to all who need information at once on subjects which come up during the year. Its reliability is guaranteed by the editors. Its success seems to us assured."

"The Book Buyer," New York: "It deals with the present and with yesterday; with the past it has no concern. That the enterprise will fill, if not a long-felt want, at least one ingeniously discerned there can be no doubt.

"The Independent," New York: "The idea of this magazine is a good one and we look to see it fill a long-felt

want.

"The Fourth Estate," New York: "A single glance through its pages is sufficient to demonstrate its usefulness to all who are interested in important happenings."

"The Journal," Minneapolis: "It cannot fail to win. The list of trained specialists suggests that the projectors will keep the monthly issue hot on the trail of occurrences worthy of record."

"The Commercial Advertiser," New York: "We give it our cordial endorsement."

"The Plain Dealer," Cleveland: "The idea is a good one and it has been well worked up. A large corps of competent editors and contributors have been engaged; the names announced giving assurance that the work will be well done."

"National Printer-Journalist," Chicago: "It must prove of great value in newspaper and printing offices as a meaus of ready reference."

"The Sun," New York: "Few things are more troublesome to get at than accurate statements about what has just happened. A week or a fortnight suffices to put the ephemeral accounts of the daily press out of reach or to make the effort to snatch back the important part that has slipped by painful and laborious. * *The articles are written by a large staff of competent authorities."
