New Encyclopædia Britannica Edition
The University of Cambridge, England, has acquired the copyright of the Encyclopædia Britannica, and announce that they are about to publish an entirely new edition—the eleventh—of this stupendous work. This new and original edition is constructed as a whole, and will be so published, its survey of human knowledge coming down as late as the summer of 1910. It will consist of twenty-eight large quarto volumes, the last of which will be a full and comprehensive index. These volumes will be printed on tough, thin India paper, bound in flexible covers, so that the whole edition will weigh but sixty pounds, and will only occupy two feet of linear shelf room as against six feet of ordinary paper and binding. It is promised not later than the first of 1911.
