r LIPPINCOTTS.... . BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY THE great strides in every field of liumaii activity during tlie century just closed have added thousands of new names to the lists of those whom the world delights to honor, a fact which the publishers of LiPPlNCOTT ' s Pko- ' OnsCIXG DlCTIOXARY OF BIOGRAPHY AND MYTHOLOGY have recognized by giving that notable work of reference a thorough and extended revision. The biographical notices included in previous editions have been brought down Xo date, and a great number of new- names have been added ; so that the book in its latest edition is complete to the opening year of the twentieth century, and stands to-day — as always since the publication of its first edi- tion — without a peer among works of similar intent and scope. Among the many features of excellence which have called forth the highest praise from hundreds of men prominent in the affairs of mankind may be cited specifically the admirable system of Orthography, repeated on every page for the sake of convenience; and the comprehensive plan of Pronunciation, the data for which were secured by Dr. Tlioraas during an extended sojourn in Europe and the Orient. 2 IskT e 8vo vols. 2550 double-column pa es.
