Alden’s Manifold Cyclopedia.
Alden’s Manifold Cyclopedia of Knowledge and Language is publishing in
30 or more volumes, with thousands of illustrations, Ideal Edition,
about 640 pages each, Brevier type. Price per vol., cloth, 60c. (30c);

issued at intervals of about one month. Price of the sixteen vols.,
cloth, for cash received before July 1, 1889, $8.00 For half Morocco,
add 15 cents a volume. AGENTS WANTED.
“I have two encyclopedias—Chambers’s and the Britannica—but for handy
reference I prefer the Manifold. It is the Encyclopedia for the student,
author and poor man.”—D. W. Hull, Colfax, Iowa.
“The work is marked by uniform excellence, each volume being packed with
just such information on the manifold topics treated of as is ordinarily
desired. The illustrations are numerous and helpful. It is a Cyclopedia
for the people, and it is made available to all by the extremely small
price.”—_Christian Intelligencer_, New York.
Alden’s Cyclopedia of Literature.
Alden’s Cyclopedia of Universal Literature is publishing in volumes of
about 500 pages each, Ideal Edition, large type. It will be completed

volume. AGENTS WANTED.
“No student of literature can afford to be without this work; and to
subscribe for it at once, and study each volume as it comes out, is the
best way for those who have not much time or money at their disposal.
There is really no reason why the lover of the best literature should
not read this excellent selection steadily through from the first page
to the last.”—_National Baptist_, Philadelphia.
“I have received thirteen volumes of Alden’s Cyclopedia of Literature,
and am more than satisfied with them. I think the same amount of equally
well digested information could not have been brought to my shelves from
other sources for double the cost of these volumes. Both their manner
and matter are excellent.”—H. H. McIntire, West Randolph, Vt.
“We hail with pleasure every new volume of this most unique and
interesting work.”—_Farm, Field and Stockman_, Chicago, Ill.
“I have received volumes XII. and XIII. of the Cyclopedia of Universal
Literature, and am more and more surprised at the cheapness and
thoroughness of the work. When completed, I do not think there will be
its equal in the language.”—Mrs. Lois J. Campbell, Fairfield, Pa.

Also an index of over 5,000 cities, rivers, mountains, etc.,
throughout the world, showing exact location. Cloth, $2.25 (80c);
Agents Wanted.
“The maps are not only very complete, but are brought up to the latest
development of the various countries of the world in railroads,
adjustment of territorial lines and discovery.”—_Presbyterian
Quarterly_, Chester, S. C.
“It is one of the marvels of cheapness for which American readers are
already much indebted to this publisher.”—_Christian Cynosure_, Chicago.
History of French Literature.
—A History of French Literature. By Prof. Chas. Woodward Hutson, of the
University of Mississippi. 12mo, cloth, $1.10 (40c).
“It is clear, well arranged, and comprehensive, abounding in
personalities of the writers, which gives the reader a good idea of
their qualities. For a great multitude of readers the volume is just
such a book as they need.”—_Inter-Ocean_, Chicago, Ill.
“Evidently Prof. Hutson is an accomplished scholar and a thorough master
of the subject of which he writes. His book is as fresh and bright and
interesting as a novel.”—_News_, Charleston, S. C.
“A short history of French literature, clear, comprehensive, well
arranged, extending from its beginnings to the present time; the
interest is enhanced by the personality with which the author invests
the individual writers, and by the well-chosen quotations (translated)
with which he sustains his own opinions.”—_Christian Leader_,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
“A handsome manual by Professor C. W. Hutson, author of ‘The Beginnings
of Civilization.’ It is marked by the same scholarly spirit as was there
shown. It covers the last 900 years in its view. The troubadours, the
fables and the chronicles, the Renaissance ages, the great satirists,
dramatists, essayists, encyclopedists, the scientific writers, the
philosophers, the critics and the poets, men and women, from Moliere to
de Stael, and even the translated French literature of Louisiana—all are
generously though compactly treated.”—_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
“The work is exceedingly interesting, and gives a very faithful
illustration of French thought as set forth in the general literature of
the people. One cannot read the work without securing a fair and most
pleasant acquaintance with the eminent men and women who have given to
France a literature second to none, in many respects, of any nation. The
author shows himself both an admirer of French thought and thoroughly
conversant with it.”—_Herald of Gospel Liberty_, Dayton, Ohio.
THE BEGINNINGS OF CIVILIZATION.
—The Beginnings of Civilization. By Prof. Chas. Woodward Hutson. Ideal
Ed., cl., 60c. (20c)
“Beginnings of Civilization will be of great interest to Bible students,
especially in those portions which treat of countries in immediate
connection with Hebrew history.”—_Christian World_, Dayton, O.
THE STORY OF BERYL.
Hutson. The Story of Beryl. By Prof. Hutson. Ideal Ed. Paper, _15c._,
cl., 35c. (10c)
“The ‘Story of Beryl’ is written in the author’s usual graceful style.
The characters are true to nature, the incidents told in pure English,
and one can not help being interested in the story.”—_Morning Star_,
Boston.
OUT OF A BESIEGED CITY.
—Out of a Besieged City. By Prof. Hutson. Paper, _10c._, cloth, 25c.
(6c)
“Out of a Besieged City affords one the most excellent idea of the
events of the stirring times of the Revolution.”—_Central Baptist_, St.
Louis.
Alden’s “New” Ideal Book Case.
Alden’s Ideal Revolving Book-Case, No. 3. Has four shelves, adjustable,
giving 136 inches of shelf room; size of case, 19 inches wide, 12
inches deep, 40 inches high, or four feet, including the base, Is made
of perfectly kiln-dried cherry birch, with birds-eye maple panels;
hand carved; built on ingenious but simple interlocking principles,
doing away, mainly, with screws, nails or glue; may be knocked down
and set up again in five minutes; price $10.00 at store.
No. 4, similar to No. 3, but without the birds-eye panels, and “solid”
instead of “knock down;” price $8.00 at store.
Alden’s “New” Ideal Revolving Book Case, above described, ready May 1,
1889, is a great improvement upon the styles heretofore sold. The new is
supported from the top instead of at the base, as formerly, thus
standing firmer and revolving more freely; the “knock-down” feature of
No. 3 is a triumph of mechanical ingenuity; the workmanship and the
material used, in both styles, are a great advance on those formerly
sold—this is high praise, indeed, considering the delightful
satisfaction the book cases have given in the past, but our patrons will
find our estimate just; this, we think, comes very near to being a
“perfect” book case!
A Grand Old Roman.
Antoninus, Marcus Aurelius. The Thoughts of, translated by George Long,
with a sketch of his Life and a view of his Philosophy. Ideal Edition,
cloth. 30c. (7c)
“This is a wonderfully interesting book. The ancient stoical philosophy
receives, in this great and gentle-minded Roman Emperor, its noblest
expression.”—_Advance_, Chicago.
The Earth for 25 Cents!
Alden’s Handy Atlas of the World. 138 colored maps, diagrams, tables,

“I think so much intrinsically valuable information was never before

cents!”—Benson J. Lossing, LL.D., Dover Plains, N. Y.
