BEETON'S DICTIONARY of UNIVERSAL INFORMATION, A to Z, comprising Geography, Biography, History, Mythology, Biblical Know. ledge, Chronology, with the Pronunciation of every Proper Name.

"The Dictionary of Universal Information, just published by Mr. S. O. Beeton, supplies a desideratum much and widely felt-that of a comprehensive yet portable dictionary of proper names. The Encyclopædia Britannica,' the English Encyclopædia,' and the other great digests of human knowledge, in consequence of their high price, are accessible only to a few. In such works no special provision is made for supplying short and comprehensive information regarding individual words, arranged in their alphabetical order, of the kind most likely to be required by the great mass of general readers. Mr. Beeton, to some extent, enters a new field in devoting a Dictionary exclusively to proper names in Geography, History, Biography, Mythology, Bible Knowledge, and Chronology. In these pages condensation has been in every way sought after and we know of no work which supplies more information at a smaller cost."-The Times.

In Two Vols., price 215., half-bound, the Revised and Enlarged Edition, newly Illustrated by 128 full-page and 1,500 smaller Engravings.

BEETON'S SCIENCE, ART, AND LITERATURE: A.

The work has been with great care Revised, Enlarged, and newly Illustrated.

There is no volume extant comparable to this for the amount of informa tion compressed into a small space. Amongst works on Technical Science and Information, there is no volume that can be more safely recommended to teachers, students, or practical men, than Beeton's Scientific Dictionary.
