Great wars and consequent revolutions-have: occarred, involving national changes of peculiar moment.— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last. volume of the old work appeared, has happily been emded, and a new course of commercial and’ industrial activity has been ¢commenced. SRI S Large accessions to our geographical kpnowledge have heen made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. S P w el e The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought intq public view, amulti}tudeofuew}men, whose names are in‘ every, one's mouth,, and of whose lives evéry'one -is. curious. to know the particulare. Greal-battles have been ‘fonght and important sieges maintained; ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspépers or in the transient publications of the-day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. e i In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the.information to-the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in‘science, of every fresh production inliterature, and of the newestinventionsin the-practital arts, as well as to give a suceinet and original record of the progress of politi-, ' cal and historical cvents. 2 : St The work has been begun after long and care: ful preliminary labor, and with -the most -ample resources for carrying it om-to a suceessfnl termination. Lo Pttt o e . None of the original stereotype platés have been: ~used, but every page has been printed on new type, formingin fact & new Cyelop®dia, with the s:ugg; plani and compass as its predecessor, but! with 'a far greater pecuniary, expenditure, and with such improvements in its- composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlgrged knowledge: = -4 =l tieeniin G L The illustrations which ave introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictoridl -effect, but to. give 'gteater lucidity and force to the explanations in ‘the text.

They.embrace all branches of: science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanies and manufactures, . Although . intended for instruction rather than embel]lﬁx- ! ment, no pains have been.spared fo‘insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a. welcome reception as an -admirable feature of the Cyclop®dia, and worthy of its high charaecter. .

The question is almost daily asked, ¢ What is the cause of the unpairalleled “success -of VINEGAR BrrTERS ¥’ Our answer is, that they | ~remove. the cause of disegse, and, the patient_recovers his health.

In their - treatment, a purgative, exerting a ~ powerfyl influence upon these various orzans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose cqual to DRr. J.
