Excerpt from The American Educator, Vol. 1 of 8: Completely Remodelled and Rewritten From Original Text of the New Practical Reference Library, With New Plans and Additional Material
To make the work convenient in use, the long articles have been divided by conspicuous subheads. Moreover, the greatest care has been taken to arrange material under the most common and appropriate headings; in other words, to place it in the spot where it will be oftenest sought. At the same time references are made to it from all other related articles. This system of cross-references binds together, also, the material of every department, and enables the reader to find quickly anything related to the subject he seeks. The complete index at the end of the last volume leads to every impor tant fact referred to in the entire work. By following the references one is led into broad courses of systematic reading.
The publishers have admirably embellished the work with the finest multi-colored illustrations, new engraved colored maps and. Vivid relief maps of the continents; choice full-page, colored halftones; new and correct pen and ink portraits, and more than eighteen hundredother pictures. As all have been selected primarily for the important purpose of clarifying and broadening the text, they form an integral part of the work.
In appearance, the volumes are a notable improvement upon other works of reference of similar size, and in one respect are unique, namely, in the use of large, clear type. In a large encyclopedia that is rarely consulted, and then only for brief moments, one might possibly justify all articles in small type, but a useful book for daily reference by young students and busy people should make no unnecessary demands on the eyesight, or waste valuable time with crowded lines.
The editors have felt the responsibility which has rested upon them, and they have spared no effort to make the american educator a work of value to inquirers of all classes, a work that scholars will appreciate.
