Names, places and events, of all times, of every land, arc gathered here, and sorted under an unique system that lays bare the one desired fact as quick as thinking. It’s safe to say that each existing set of “The Century” volumes are used a dozen times as often, daily, as all the old-fashioned works oombined —for they’re made to use, and not to bo kept on the shelves.
